Handbook of Optical Constants of Solids

This is the third volume of the very successful set. This updated volume will contain non-linear properties of some of the most useful materials as well as chapters on optical measurement techniques.

Contributors have decided the best values for n and kReferences in each critique allow the reader to go back to the original data to examine and understand where the values have come fromAllows the reader to determine if any data in a spectral region needs to be filled inGives a wide and detailed view of experimental techniques for measuring the optical constants n and kIncorporates and describes crystal structure, space-group symmetry, unit-cell dimensions, number of optic and acoustic modes, frequencies of optic modes, the irreducible representation, band gap, plasma frequency, and static dielectric constant
