The Essence of Optoelectronics (Essence of Engineering)

Rating:
Summary: Concise and informative
Review: This is a wonderful introductory book. It's fairly short - this is not one of those texts that has so much information in it that you get overwhelmed; if you want a really in-depth book on the subject, this isn't it - but you might want to read this one before you rush out to buy the eighteen-pound monster. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in self-study. I wish there were more introductory texts this easy to read and inexpensive.
