The book balances theoretical development (Maxwell’s equations, wave propagation, modes, band-structure of optical guides) with practical and experimental context, offering many worked examples and problems that make it suitable for senior undergraduates and beginning graduate students. Its scope and level of treatment make it a standard course text in optics, photonics and optical communications across Indian universities ER -
