  • Detection of Lightby George Rieke

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 76.00

    Detection of Light provides a comprehensive overview of the important approaches to photon detection from ultraviolet to submillimeter spectral regions. This expanded and fully updated second edition discusses recently introduced types of detector, providing a comprehensive and unified treatment of light detection, with emphasis on the underlying physical principles. more...

  • Handbook of Moire Measurementby C.A. Walker

    CRC Press 2003; US$ 149.95

    The use of Moire fringe methods in stress analysis and shape measurement is widespread. This book explains, in practical terms, what can be achieved with these methods to assist engineers and designers to understand the behaviour of structures and materials. more...

  • Laser-Induced Damage of Optical Materialsby Roger M. Wood

    CRC Press 2003; US$ 89.95

    Understanding damage mechanisms is fundamental to good design of laser products operating at high power. This work describes how the physical and chemical properties of laser materials combine to affect the power and energy handling capabilities of these materials and the systems they are used for. more...

  • Thin Film Optical Filtersby H. Angus Macleod

    CRC Press 2001; US$ 149.95

    This work is an introduction to thin-film optical filters. It provides a unified treatment of the design, manufacture, performance and application of optical thin films, and includes the mathematics necessary for thin-film calculations. more...

  • Diffraction, Fourier Optics and Imagingby Okan K. Ersoy

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2006; US$ 146.00

    This book presents current theories of diffraction, imaging, and related topics based on Fourier analysis and synthesis techniques, which are essential for understanding, analyzing, and synthesizing modern imaging, optical communications and networking, as well as micro/nano systems. Applications covered include tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and interferometric SAR; optical communications and networking devices; computer-generated holograms and analog holograms; and wireless systems using EM waves. more...

  • Basics of Interferometryby P. Hariharan

    Elsevier 2006; US$ 99.95

    Optical interferometry is used in communications, medical imaging, astonomy, and structural measurement. With the use of an interferometer engineers and scientists are able to complete surface inspections of micromachined surfaces and semiconductors. Medical technicians are able to give more consise diagnoses with the employ of interferometers in microscopy, spectroscopy, and coherent tomography. Originating from a one-day course, this material was expanded to serve as an introduction to the topic for engineers and scientists that have little optical knowledge but a need for more in their daily work lives. The need for interferometry knowledge has crossed the boundaries of engineering fields and Dr. Hariharan has written a book that answers... more...

  • Spectrograph Design Fundamentalsby John James

    Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 129.00

    Spectrographic design for academic researchers, graduate students and professionals in spectroscopy and optical engineering. more...

  • Optical Interferometry, 2eby P. Hariharan

    Elsevier 2003; US$ 102.00

    When the first edition of "Optical Interferometry" was published, interferometry was regarded as a rather esoteric method of making measurements, largely confined to the laboratory. Today, however, besides its use in several fields of research, it has applications in fields as diverse as measurement of length and velocity, sensors for rotation, acceleration, vibration and electrical and magnetic fields, as well as in microscopy and nanotechnology. Most topics are discussed first at a level accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of physical optics, then a more detailed treatment of the topic is undertaken, and finally each topic is supplemented by a reference list of more than 1000 selected original publications in total. * Historical... more...

  • Physical Properties and Data of Optical Materialsby Moriaki Wakaki

    CRC Press 2007; US$ 139.95

    This conveniently crafted guide presents the physical and optical properties of more than 100 of the most important and widely used optical materials. For each material, the editors examine the crystal system; natural and artificial growth and production methods along with corrosives and processing; thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties; optical properties, such as transmittance and reflectance spectra, ranging over the UV to IR spectrum; and, where applicable, applications for spectroscopy and miscellaneous remarks, such as handling concerns and chemical properties. Numerous tables illustrate important data such as numerical values of optical constants for important wavelength regions. more...

  • Spectroscopic Properties of Rare Earths in Optical Materialsby Guokui Liu; Bernard Jacquier

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 289.00

    Aimed at researchers and graduate students, this book provides up-to-date information about the electronic interactions that impact the optical properties of rare earth ions in solids. Its goal is to establish a connection between fundamental principles and the materials properties of rare-earth activated luminescent and laser optical materials. The theoretical survey and introduction to spectroscopic properties covers electronic energy level structure, intensities of optical transitions, ion-phonon interactions, line broadening, and energy transfer and up-conversion. An important aspect of the book lies in its deep and detailed discussions of materials properties and the potential of new applications such as optical storage, information processing,... more...
