Optical computers and photonic integrated circuits in high capacity optical networks are hot topics, attracting the attention of expert researchers and commercial technology companies. Optical packet switching and routing technologies promise to provide a more efficient source of power, and footprint scaling with increased router capacity; integrating more optical processing elements into the same chip to increase on-chip processing capability and system intelligence has become a priority.
This book is an in-depth look at modelling techniques and the simulation of a wide range of liquid crystal based modern photonic devices with enhanced high levels of flexible integration and enhanced power processing. It covers the physics of liquid crystal materials; techniques required for modelling liquid crystal based devices; the state-of-the art liquid crystal photonic based applications for telecommunications such as couplers, polarization rotators, polarization splitters and multiplexer-demultiplexers; liquid core photonic crystal fiber (LC-PCF) sensors including biomedical and temperature sensors; and liquid crystal photonic crystal based encryption systems for security applications.
Key features
- Offers a unique source of in-depth learning on the fundamental principles of computational liquid crystal photonics.
- Explains complex concepts such as photonic crystals, liquid crystals, waveguides and modes, and frequency- and time-domain techniques used in the design of liquid crystal photonic crystal photonic devices in terms that are easy to understand.
- Demonstrates the useful properties of liquid crystals in a diverse and ever-growing list of technological applications.
- Requires only a foundational knowledge of mathematics and physics.

About the Author
Salah S. A. Obayya, Zewail City of Science and Technology, Giza, Egypt
Professor Salah Obayya developed for his PhD a novel finite element-based full-vectorial-beam-propagation algorithm for the analysis of various photonic devices. He worked as a Senior Research Fellow at the School of Engineering, City University London. From June 2003 until Sept. 2006, he joined the School of Engineering and Design, Brunel University, West London, U.K., to work as a Senior Lecturer, followed by a Readership at The School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Leeds. Professor Obayya is now Full Professorial Chair of Photonics and led the establishment of the "Nano-Photonics Research Centre" at The University of Glamorgan, UK, while he is now Full Professor of Photonics and Director of Centre for Photonics and Smart Materials at Zewail City of Science and Technology.
Mohamed Farahat O. Hameed, Zerwail City of Science and Technology, Giza, Egypt
Dr Mohamed Farahat O. Hameed was a member of Prof. Obayya photonics group at Leeds University, South Wales University, UK, and now Zewail City, contributing in the design and analysis of a wide range of liquid crystal based photonic devices such as polarization splitter, polarization rotators, couplers, multiplexer-demultiplexers, and sensors.
Nihal F. F. Areed, Zerwail City of Science and Technology, Giza, Egypt
Associate Professor Nihal Areed is a lecturer at Electronics and Communications Dept., Faculty of Engineering, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt. She obtained her PhD degrees in Electronics and Communications Engineering from Mansoura University, Egypt. Her main research interests are focused on the fields of electromagnetics and photonics, in particular in the area of modelling, design and numerical simulation of nanophotonic devices.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to GreatBookPricesUK, Castle Donington, Derby, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
