Information Photonics: Fundamentals, Technologies, and Applications
暫譯: 資訊光子學：基礎、技術與應用

本書的主要目的是向研究生、碩士生、研究人員、工程師和科學家介紹光子資訊處理技術的概念。預期能讓讀者深入了解光子處理技術作為一個系統的概念，以及在通信、計算和智能模式識別領域中所需的光子設備作為應用組件。

Asit Kumar Datta is a former professor and ex-head of the Department of Applied Physics and later of the Department of Applied Optics and Photonics, University of Calcutta. He received his Ph.D. in power electronics from the University of Calcutta, and started his career at the same university as a lecturer. In 1989, he was appointed professor of the same department and later moved to the newly created department of Applied Optics and Photonics. Professor Datta has contributed significantly to the area of power electronics, control instrumentation, photonics, and optical computing. He executed 12 funded and sponsored research projects and has published more than 120 papers in national and international journals and conference proceedings, and he has also guided 14 research students towards their Ph.D. degrees. Professor Datta is a fellow of the Institution of Engineers, Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers, the Optical Society of India, and the Indian Society of Lighting Engineers. He represented India at the International Commission for Optics (ICO), Paris and was the Indian representative in two divisions of the International Commission of Illumination (CIE), Geneva.

Soumika Munshi received her M.Sc. (Tech.) degree followed by a Ph.D. in Applied Physics with a specialization in Optics and Optoelectronics from the University of Calcutta in 1996 and 2003, respectively. She joined as a scientist at the Instrument Research and Development Establishment (IRDE), Dehradun, a laboratory of the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), under the Government of India's Ministry of Defence, in 2004. She is now associated with DRDO headquarters in New Delhi, and worked in between at the Defence Research and Development Laboratory, Hyderabad. Her areas of interest include: image processing, photonic computing, lasers, and photonic instrumentation. She has published and presented more than 30 papers in international and national journals and at conference proceedings.

阿西特·庫馬·達塔（Asit Kumar Datta）是加爾各答大學應用物理系的前教授及前系主任，後來擔任應用光學與光子學系的主任。他在加爾各答大學獲得電力電子學的博士學位，並在同一所大學開始了他的講師生涯。1989年，他被任命為同一系的教授，並隨後轉至新成立的應用光學與光子學系。達塔教授在電力電子學、控制儀器、光子學和光學計算領域做出了重要貢獻。他執行了12個資助和贊助的研究項目，並在國內外期刊和會議論文集中發表了超過120篇論文，同時指導了14名研究生獲得博士學位。達塔教授是工程師學會、電子與電信工程師學會、印度光學學會及印度照明工程師學會的會士。他曾代表印度參加在巴黎舉行的國際光學委員會（ICO），並在日內瓦的國際照明委員會（CIE）兩個部門擔任印度代表。

索米卡·穆恩希（Soumika Munshi）於1996年獲得加爾各答大學的應用物理碩士（科技）學位，並於2003年獲得光學與光電子學專業的博士學位。她於2004年加入印度國防部國防研究與發展組織（DRDO）下的儀器研究與開發機構（IRDE），位於德拉敦，擔任科學家。她目前與位於新德里的DRDO總部有關聯，並曾在海得拉巴的國防研究與發展實驗室工作。她的研究興趣包括：影像處理、光子計算、激光和光子儀器。她在國際和國內期刊及會議論文集中發表和展示了超過30篇論文。
