"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 ...
Exotic effects of slow light have been observed in the laboratory. But most currently available texts do not explore the wider field of slow light in photonic structures and optical fibers. Reflecting recent research, this book presents a comprehensive introduction to slow light and its potential applications, including storage, switching, DOD ...
Based on more than 30 years of research on differential theories of gratings, this book describes developments in differential theory for applications in spectroscopy, acoustics, X-ray instrumentation, optical communication, information processing, photolithography, high-power lasers, high-precision engineering, and astronomy. Introducing the Fast ...
This work discusses optical scintillation and its impact on system performance in free-space optical communication and laser radar applications. It is intended for practicing engineers and scientists who want an understanding of propagation phenomena and the role of scintillation on system behaviour. The material should also aid design engineers ...
The new edition of this practical microscopy guide includes additional material on high-resolution images of periodic structures and associated techniques. It provides both a view of the fundamental principles of electron microscopy and detailed practical information needed to record the images. Various theoretical results are summarized and ...
This book offers definitive coverage of the fundamentals and potential applications of phase-space optics. Phase-space optics is a powerful new tool for understanding and applying the physics of light propagation. Written by pioneers in the field, this book begins by covering the basic properties of joint-signal representations. The book goes on ...
