The Optics Encyclopedia: Basic Foundations and Practical Applications 5 Volumes Set

With 94 expert articles in 5 volumes, the Optical Encyclopedia is both a comprehensive review as well as an introduction to the entire field. The contributions range from classical optics right up to the latest applications, including: It and TelecommunicationsOptical Sensing and MetrologyMaterial ProcessingBiomedicineOptical Components and SystemsLaser Design and technology
A comprehensive index provides easy access to the enormous number of key words beyond the headlines. The result is a rapid reference for skilled professionals on all topics of modern photonics, while newcomers from physics and engineering will appreciate the readily comprehensible style and structure.
