  • Polarized Lightby Dennis Goldstein

    Marcel Dekker Inc 2003; US$ 239.95

    The second edition of this text offers a detailed exploration of polarized light, its production, and use, thus facilitating self-study without prior knowledge of Maxwell's equations and including more than 2500 updated figures and equations for easier understanding and application. more...

  • Optical Remote Sensingby Walter G. Egan

    Marcel Dekker Inc 2003; US$ 239.95

    Written by a specialist in the field, this title explores advanced concepts in the mathematical representation of polarization, descriptors and various optical elements used in the analysis of polarization in multiple applications. more...

  • Polarization in spectral linesby E. Landi Degl'Innocenti

    Springer 2004; US$ 289.00

    The scientific research based on spectropolarimetric techniques is undergoing a phase of rapid growth. Instruments of unprecedented sensitivity are nowadays available, particularly for solar observations. To fully exploit the rich diagnostic content of such observations, it is necessary to understand the physical mechanisms involved in the generation and transfer of polarized radiation in astrophysical (or laboratory) plasmas. more...

  • Polarised Light in Science and Natureby J. David Pye

    CRC Press 2001; US$ 34.95

    This work provides the answers to numerous questions about the natural world and how its inhabitants use polarized light instinctively. If we could learn to "see" polarized light, our world would be more full of speckles, patterns, rainbows and information. more...

  • Polarized Light in Liquid Crystals and Polymersby Toralf Scharf

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2007; US$ 134.00

    Polarized Light in Liquid Crystals and Polymers deals with the linear optics of birefringent materials, such as liquid crystals and polymers, and surveys light propagation in such media with special attention to applications. It is unique in treating light propagation in micro- and nanostructured birefringent optical elements, such as lenses and gratings composed of birefringent materials, as well as the spatial varying anisotropic structures often found in miniaturized liquid crystal devices. more...

  • Polarization Mode Dispersionby Andrea Galtarossa; Curtis R. Menyuk

    Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2005; US$ 289.00

    Contains a series of tutorial essays on polarization mode dispersion (PMD) by the leading experts in the field. This book covers topics such as mathematical representation of PMD, how to properly model PMD in numerical simulations, how to accurately measure PMD, how to infer fiber properties from polarization measurements, and more. more...

  • Characterization of Partially Polarized Light Fieldsby R. Martinez-Herrero; P.M. Mejias; G. Piquero

    Springer 2009; US$ 159.00

    Includes the authors' own contributions to Polarization issues. more...

  • Field Guide to Polarizationby Edward Collett

    SPIE 2005; US$ 24.99

    The polarization of light is one of the most remarkable phenomena in nature and has led to numerous discoveries and applications. The nature and mathematical formulation of unpolarized light and partially polarized light were not readily forthcoming until the 1950s, when questions about polarized light and the mathematical tools to deal with it began to be addressed in earnest. As a result, there is a very good understanding of polarized light today. The primary objective of this Field Guide is to provide an introduction to the developments in polarized light that have taken place over the past half-century and present the most salient topics of the subject matter such as Mueller matrices, Stokes polarization parameters, and Jones matrices. more...
