SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommendations for literature on the electrooptic effect and electrooptic modulation. A second-year computer engineering student seeks accessible resources, expressing difficulty with Amnon Yariv's "Introduction to Optical Electronics." Claude suggests "Lasers and Electro-optics" by Davis as a more approachable alternative, which he found easier to understand during his studies.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of optical electronics
  • Familiarity with the electrooptic effect
  • Knowledge of modulation techniques
  • Ability to comprehend ellipsoidal geometry concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Lasers and Electro-optics" by Davis for foundational knowledge
  • Explore introductory materials on the electrooptic effect
  • Study modulation techniques in optical systems
  • Review resources on ellipsoidal geometry applications in optics
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for computer engineering students, optical engineers, and anyone interested in learning about electrooptic effects and modulation techniques.

Hello!
I am a second year computer engineer.
I would like to learn about the electrooptic effect and electrooptic modulation.
Anyone have any GOOD links(prefferd) or names of books to learn the subject.
I really need some guidence for "simple" resources which i can learn from, without too many "pre-requests"...
I have the book of the "master" (Amnon Yariv) - "introduction to optical electronics", but its pretty difficult for me.
Mostly, i don't understand for now all the "ellipsoid" material...
Thanks a lot.

Try "Lasers and Electro-optics" by Davis. I found it pretty easy to follow in my second year at University.

Claude.
