It sounds like you're looking for the to accompany Amnon Yariv's classic textbook, Quantum Electronics (or his later Photonics ). This is a common request, as the problems in Yariv are notoriously challenging.

The solutions manual for "Photonics" by Amnon Yariv is an essential companion to the textbook. The manual provides detailed solutions to the problems and exercises outlined in the text, allowing students to check their understanding of the material and gain insight into the practical applications of photonics. The solutions manual covers a wide range of topics, including optical waveguides, optical fibers, lasers, and optical detectors.
