"The phenomenon of “slow light” has received considerable attention over the last few years. The term slow light refers to the propagation of an optical signal through a medium with a speed considerably less than speed of light in vacuum. Controlling the speed of light is important for many applications such as optical communication systems, optical buffering, data synchronization, optical memories etc. Recent research has established that the velocity of light pulses can be controlled through micro-ring resonators (MRRs). This book is basically a research-based study on MRR systems and their utilization and application in optical communications. [...]This book cannot be used as a textbook, but can be used as a reference for undergraduate and graduate researchers and for professional engineers with prior knowledge of applied optics and optical communication."Book review by Ishtiaque Ahmed, Member of OSA, IEEE, APS in "Optics and Photonics News", August 2017
