Integrated Photonics for Sensing Applications

The reference book Integrated Photonics for Sensing Applications delivers technical coverage of photonic integrated circuit sensor systems designed for low SWAP-C and high performance. Authored by Anu Agarwal, Benjamin Miller, and Juejun Hu, this volume provides structured reference material for optical engineering specialists and electrical engineering researchers.

The text systematically presents free-space spectroscopic sensing techniques, detailing Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance, and reflectometry. It bridges these free-space approaches with integrated photonics, analyzing optical waveguides engineered to operate at wavelengths both less than and greater than 1550 nm.

Individual component analyses inspect ring resonators, microtoroids, photonic crystals, and Mach-Zehnder interferometers. In addition, the text treats integrated light sources, optical spectrometers, and photodetectors. These technical sections provide nanotechnology researchers and materials science professionals with detailed reference data for sensor system architectures.
