"I think the main strength of this book is the detailed discussion of fundamental equations as well as the in-depth comparison of numerical methods. … The author obviously knows what he is writing about from first-hand experience with advanced modeling and practical design of modern devices."—Joachim Piprek, NUSOD Institute, Newark, Delaware, USA "I like the use of MATLAB®-based example codes. ... I like the fact that the material is all based on the author’s own personal research. This brings a level of detail and understanding. ... The author has considerable experience in developing original BPM and thermal models in the context of high-power laser diodes simulation. He brings both subjects to light with his considerable insight. ... The book draws upon the author’s wide experience in photonics modelling and simulation. It is rigorous in approach, insightful, and very well written."—Prof. Trevor Benson, University of Nottingham, UK
