This book discusses the techniques of processing and manipulating signals propagating in the optical domain. Photonic components essential for photonic processing systems are included as well as the representation of photonic circuits. This new edition will be fully revised and include four new chapters.

Le Nguyen Binh holds a B.Eng (Hons) and Ph.D from the University of Western Australia. He is currently a technical director at Huawei's European Research Centre in Munich, Germany, and has been awarded three Huawei Technologies Gold Medals for his work on advanced optical communication technologies. He was previously the chair of Commission D (Electronics and Photonics) of the National Committee for Radio Sciences of the Australian Academy of Sciences, and a professorial fellow at Nanyang Technological University, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, and various Australian universities. Widely published, Dr. Binh is the series editor of Photonics and Optics for CRC Press.
