  • Field Guide to Geometrical Opticsby John E. Greivenkamp

    SPIE 2004; US$ 24.99

    This Field Guide derives from the treatment of geometrical optics that has evolved from both the undergraduate and graduate programs at the Optical Sciences Center at the University of Arizona. The development is both rigorous and complete, and it features a consistent notation and sign convention. This volume covers Gaussian imagery, paraxial optics, first-order optical system design, system examples, illumination, chromatic effects, and an introduction to aberrations. The appendices provide supplemental material on radiometry and photometry, the human eye, and several other topics. more...

  • Radio Frequency Circuit Designby W. Alan Davis; Krishna Agarwal

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 137.00

    A much-needed, up-to-date guide to the rapidly growing area of RF circuit design, this book walks readers through a whole range of new and improved techniques for the analysis and design of receiver and transmitter circuits, illustrating them through examples from modern-day communications systems. The application of MMIC to RF design is also discussed. more...

  • Coplanar Waveguide Circuits, Components, and Systemsby Rainee N. Simons

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2004; US$ 154.00

    Up-to-date coverage of the analysis and applications of coplanar waveguides to microwave circuits and antennas The unique feature of coplanar waveguides, as opposed to more conventional waveguides, is their uniplanar construction, in which all of the conductors are aligned on the same side of the substrate. This feature simplifies manufacturing and allows faster and less expensive characterization using on-wafer techniques. Coplanar Waveguide Circuits, Components, and Systems is an engineer's complete resource, collecting all of the available data on the subject. Rainee Simons thoroughly discusses propagation parameters for conventional coplanar waveguides and includes valuable details such as the derivation of the fundamental equations,... more...

  • Three-Dimensional Holographic Imagingby Chung J. Kuo; Meng Hua Tsai

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 154.00

    A comprehensive survey of the state of the art in 3-D holographic imaging techniques and applications This book introduces the general concepts of both real-time and non-real-time 3-D holographic imaging techniques for scientific and engineering applications. It offers readers a fundamental understanding of the concepts of 3-D holographic imaging as well as cost-effective design and implementation. World-renowned experts in the field provide in-depth discussion of the following topics: Holograms of real and virtual point trajectories Self-stabilized real-time holographic recording Principles and applications of optical scanning holography Tangible, dynamic holographic images Holographic laser radar Preliminary studies on compression of interference... more...

  • Handbook of Infrared Spectroscopy of Ultrathin Filmsby Valeri P. Tolstoy; Irina Chernyshova; Valeri A. Skryshevsky

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 405.00

    Because of the rapid increase in commercially available Fourier transform infrared spectrometers and computers over the past ten years, it has now become feasible to use IR spectrometry to characterize very thin films at extended interfaces. At the same time, interest in thin films has grown tremendously because of applications in microelectronics, sensors, catalysis, and nanotechnology. The Handbook of Infrared Spectroscopy of Ultrathin Films provides a practical guide to experimental methods, up-to-date theory, and considerable reference data, critical for scientists who want to measure and interpret IR spectra of ultrathin films. This authoritative volume also: Offers information needed to effectively apply IR spectroscopy to the analysis... more...

  • Integrated Photonicsby Giné Lifante; s

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 120.00

    All integrated optical components and devices make use of "waveguides", where light is confined by total internal reflection. The elements in such "photonic chip" are interconnected through waveguides, and also the integrated optics components themselves are fabricated using waveguide configuration, such as couplers, switches, modulators, multiplexors, amplifiers and lasers, etc. These components are integrated in a single substrate, thus resulting in a compact and robust photonic device, which can be optically connected through optical fibres. With and increase in the number of integrated optical components and devices emerging from the research laboratories to the market place an up-to-date book is essential in collecting, summarizing and... more...
