  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Optical Materialsby Joseph Simmons; Kelly S. Potter

    Elsevier 1999; US$ 146.00

    This book presents, in a unified form, the underlying physical and structural processes that determine the optical behavior of materials. It does this by combining elements from physics, optics, and materials science in a seamless manner, and introducing quantum mechanics when needed. The book groups the characteristics of optical materials into classes with similar behavior. In treating each type of material, the text pays particular attention to atomic composition and chemical makeup, electronic states and band structure, and physical microstructure so that the reader will gain insight into the kinds of materials engineering and processing conditions that are required to produce a material exhibiting a desired optical property. The physical... more...

  • Optical materialsby Roger. M. Wood

    The Institute of Materials. Minerals and Mining 1993; US$ 100.00

    Introduction; molecular and crystal structure; physical properties; optical properties of linear materials; optically non-linear materials; laser materials; detector materials; fibre / integrated optics; liquid crystals; power handling capability of optical materials more...

  • Introduction to Complex Mediums for Optics and Electromagneticsby Werner S. Weiglhofer; Akhlesh Lakhtakia

    SPIE 2003; US$ 87.55

    Complex-mediums electromagnetics (CME) describes the study of electromagnetic fields in materials with complicated response properties. This truly multidisciplinary field commands the attentions of scientists from physics and optics to electrical and electronic engineering, from chemistry to materials science, to applied mathematics, biophysics, and nanotechnology. This book is a collection of essays to explain complex mediums for optical and electromagnetic applications. All contributors were requested to write with two aims: first, to educate; second, to provide a state-of-the-art review of a particular subtopic. The vast scope of CME exemplified by the actual materials covered in the essays should provide a plethora of opportunities to the... more...

  • Characterization of Optical Materialsby Gregory J. Exarhos

    Momentum Press 2010; US$ 81.00

    Optical materials are prized for their properties such as reflection, refraction, absorption, emission, scattering, and diffraction of light in wavelengths ranging from 100 nm to 10 mm. Because small surface or atomic structure defects can have significant affects on those properties, characterization techniques that are sensitive to structures at those scales are presented for the relative effectiveness and particular applications. Readers will find: -- A review of surface roughness as it relates to desired optical properties -- Characterization of optical materials used for III-V semiconductor systems, group IV materials, and amorphous and microcrystalline semiconductors -- Coverage of on the stability and modification of film and surface... more...
