Zusatztext "Weber has prepared a handbook that authoritatively compiles physical properties for numerous bulk materials used in practical optical systems and lasers. Summing Up: Recommended."-O. Eknoyan! Texas A&M University "[This book] is an excellent reference for being able to quickly compare the physical differences or similarities of optical materials generally used in today's laser and optical systems. Readers who work with and design lasers or optical systems for commercial or research purposes would find this handbook to be a very useful reference for their work." - IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine! Vol. 20! No. 5! Sept-Oct. 2004 "More than 1!000 crystalline materials are covered in the first section of this book! which ? is appropriate for a handbook on materials ? . ? The straightforward organization of the data tables makes it easy to find parameters. ? This handbook could serve as a comprehensive desktop reference for engineers or physicians." - OPN - Optics & Photonics News! Vol. 15! No. 7! July 2004 Informationen zum Autor Marvin J. Weber Klappentext This new handbook is an authoritative compilation of the physical properties of materials used in all types of lasers and optical systems. In it, scientist, author, and editor Dr. Marvin J. Weber provides extensive data tabulations and references for a range of the most important optical materials, including crystals, glasses, polymers, metals, liquids, and gases. The properties detailed in both linear and nonlinear optical properties, mechanical properties, and thermal properties together with many additional relevant special properties, such as electro-, magneto-, and elasto-optic properties. Logically organized by material properties, the presentation simplifies the process of comparing different materials with respect to their suitability for particular applications. Zusammenfassung Compiles the physical properties of materials used in various types of lasers and optical systems. This book provides data tabulations and references for a range of the important optical materials, including crystals, glasses, polymers, metals, liquids, and gases. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface.
