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.

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.
