N2  - The title of this book, Advances in Optical and Photonic Devices, encompasses a broad 
range of theory and applications which are of interest for diverse classes of optical and 
photonic devices. Unquestionably, recent successful achievements in modern optical 
communications and multifunctional systems have been accomplished based on composing 
“building blocks” of a variety of optical and photonic devices. Thus, the grasp of current 
trends and needs in device technology would be useful for further development of such a 
range of relative applications.  
The book is going to be a collection of contemporary researches and developments 
of various devices and structures in the area of optics and photonics. It is composed of 17 
excellent chapters covering fundamental theory, physical operation mechanisms, fabrication 
and measurement techniques, and application examples. Besides, it contains comprehensive 
reviews of recent trends and advancements in the field. First six chapters are especially 
focused on diverse aspects of recent developments of lasers and related technologies, while 
the later chapters deal with various optical and photonic devices including waveguides, 
filters, oscillators, isolators, photodiodes, photomultipliers, microcavities, and so on. 
Although the book is a collected edition of specific technological issues, I strongly believe 
that the readers can obtain generous and overall ideas and knowledge of the state-of-the-art 
technologies in optical and photonic devices.  
Lastly, special words of thanks should go to all the scientists and engineers who have 
devoted a great deal of time to writing excellent chapters in this book.
