内容简介
　　在过去的二十年里，光纤放大器在现代通信中已变得非常重要，其技术还应用在诸多前沿技术的研究中，如生物光子学和实验室型生物芯片器件等。《Light propagation in gainmedia（光放大原理与分析方法：增益介质中光的传播）（英文版）》是一本介绍增益介质中光传播问题理论处理方法的学术专著。作者力图从电磁理论对增益介质的一般性描述出发，建立光在增益介质中传播的理论框架，以此为基础介绍增益介质中光传播问题的各种理论分析方法及其在不同增益介质和不同传播问题中的应用。其中，特别侧重对人工介观材料和超短脉冲放大的讨论。《Light propagation in gainmedia（光放大原理与分析方法：增益介质中光的传播）（英文版）》的理论描述简洁，适合于具有电气工程、应用物理学等背景知识，在物理、光学、生物光学、通信等方面从事研究的研究生和科研人员参考。
