Series in Optics and Optoelectronics
About the Book Series
This international series has a long history of excellence in publishing monographs, reference works, and advanced textbooks on all aspects of theoretical and applied optics/optoelectronics. Among the areas of coverage are laser science, optical materials, quantum optics, nonlinear optics, interferometry, waves, and laser radiation. The target audience is students, scientists, and engineers in optics, physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and related fields.
New books in the series are commissioned by invitation. Authors are also welcome to contact the publisher (Carolina Antunes, Physics Editor: [email protected]) to discuss new title ideas.
Diode Lasers
1st Edition
By D. Sands
October 30, 2004
Diode lasers use nearly microscopic chips of gallium-arsenide or other exotic semiconductor material to generate coherent light in a very small package. Their compact size, reliability, and low cost means that they find applications in all aspects of modern technology-most importantly they drive ...
Handbook of Electroluminescent Materials
1st Edition
Edited
By D. R. Vij
June 01, 2004
An electroluminescent (EL) material is one that emits electromagnetic (EM) radiation in the visible or near visible range when an electric field is applied to it. EL materials have a vast array of applications in the illumination and displays industries, from cheap and energy efficient lighting to ...
Laser-Induced Damage of Optical Materials
1st Edition
By Roger M. Wood
August 01, 2003
The laser power handling capacities of optical systems are determined by the physical properties of their component materials. At low intensity levels these factors are not important, but an understanding of damage mechanisms is fundamental to good design of laser products operating at high power. ...
