Microwave Photonics

Microwave photonics continues to see rapid growth, with the integration of optical fiber and wireless networks now a commercial reality. Such hybrid technology will lead to many innovative applications, including ultrawideband and ultrafast networks. This book systematically introduces key technologies and applications in microwave photonics, ranging from micro- and millimeter-wave to terahertz frequencies. Leading researchers share insights on overcoming current limitations and on future directions. Updated to reflect advances in the field, this edition includes new chapters on fiber Bragg gratings and ultrawide-band sub-THz photonic wireless links.
