Aberrations of Optical Systems covers elementary optics and aberration theory of various optical systems, including the use of nonaxially symmetric systems and diffractive optical elements in complex designs, such as head-up displays and the increasing use of scanning systems with laser illumination..

Each chapter is based on a graduate-level lecture given by an internationally-known expert in the field, and is self-contained, with introductory background material and an in-depth discussion of the author's current research...

This book explores the influence of electric fields on dielectric materials, examining the distinctive behaviors of the materials through well-established principles of physics and engineering. The fully updated and expanded second edition features five new chapters, nearly 200 new figures, and 800+..

Covers principles, applications, and issues pertaining to all major elecro-optical displays presently in use, with discussion of display evaluation characteristics and human factor topics. Coverage includes: liquid crystal (LC) display properties, matrix addressing, and photoaddressing issues; time-..

This book describes the significant experimental progress made during the past decade. The author first studies superluminal group velocities that are not in conflict with special relativity and the role of quantum effects in preventing superluminal communication and violations of Einstein causality..

This book’s coverage builds from basic underlying theory to more complex ideas related to attosecond optics. It shows how the generation of attosecond optical pulses requires knowledge of femtosecond laser technologies but is also quite distinct from femtosecond laser technologies. The author elabor..

During the last decade, there has been a great deal of interest in TFETs. To the best authors’ knowledge, no book on TFETs currently exists. The proposed book provides readers with fundamental understanding of the TFETs. It explains the interesting characteristics of the TFETs, pointing to their str..

This handbook explains how photoluminescence spectroscopy is a powerful and practical analytical tool for revealing the fundamentals of light interaction and, thus, the optical properties of semiconductors. The book shows how luminescent semiconductors are used in lasers, photodiodes, infrared detec..

Optofluidics involves the use of fluids to modify optical properties and the use of optical devices to detect flowing media, and is highly dependent on the successful integration of photonic integrated circuits with microfluidic or nanofluidic systems. This handbook provides detailed coverage of thi..

InP is a key semiconductor for the production of optoelectronic and photonic devices, and the applications of InP and related compounds extend to areas like laser diodes, light emitting diodes, photodetectors, waveguides, photocathodes, and solar cells. The topics presented in this book are balanced..

This book provides a systematic and comprehensive presentation of the fundamental principles underlying the physical and chemical mechanisms governing the interaction of laser radiation with solid targets for a wide range of beam parameters. Emphasis is placed on metals in gaseous environments...

Covering underlying theory and practical applications, Laser Safety provides a unique and readily-understandable review of current laser safety. The authors explain in detail the biological effects of laser radiation, particularly on the eye, and the provisions and requirements of the international ..
