Information optics and photonics represent the key technologies to sustain our knowledge-based society. This title contains a collection of 32 chapters from some of the internationally leading scientists and research groups on a variety of topics in information optics and photonics, including the 2003-2006 ICO Prize winners.
Demonstrates the design of new laser materials based on quantum mechanical principles, spectroscopic properties of transition-metal ions, and ion-host interaction. This approach includes the theory of electronic structure of transition-metal ions, modeling of energy transfer and nonradiative processes, and symmetry considerations in spectroscopic analysis of d orbitals.
Presents a unified information-theoretic approach to solve estimation problems commonly faced in signal processing applications. The authors provide new approaches to this problem, as well as new interpretations for existing techniques. Major applications of this work include image restoration, communication channel estimation, text restoration, and system modelling.
The field of complex photonic media is truly interdisciplinary, inevitably overarching multiple topics of physics, chemistry, nanotechnology, materials science, and engineering. This book covers the basic physical properties of complex photonic media and the underlying concepts that constitute breakthroughs in modern optics.
This tribute volume honors Robert Shannon and Roland Shack, two icons in the world of applied optics. It contains technical and nontechnical papers by the honorees' former students and colleagues and also a collection of previously published milestone papers authored by them or their former students.
This text aims to provide an understanding of optics and optical processes. It contains material relavent for a one-year, advanced undergraduate or graduate level course in electro-optical systems. Problems and solutions are included to help readers learn and apply the principles.
The term ""diffractive optics"" covers a wide range of optical elements that perform any kind of wave-front transformation using diffraction. GRIN elements are made of transparent materials with a continuously varying refractive index.
Addresses stray light terminology, radiometry, and the physics of stray light mechanisms, such as surface roughness scatter and ghost reflections. The most-efficient ways of using stray light analysis software packages are included. The book also demonstrates how the basic principles are applied in the design, fabrication, and testing phases of optical system development.
Provides a concise yet complete discussion of Maxwell's four equations of electrodynamics - the fundamental theory of electricity, magnetism, and light. Written for a general audience, it guides readers step-by-step through the vector calculus and development of each equation. Pictures and diagrams illustrate what the equations mean in basic terms.
Presents approaches, materials, and devices that eliminate the cooling requirements of IR photodetectors operating in the middle- and long-wavelength ranges of the IR spectrum. This text also discusses solutions to specific problems of high-temperature detection, such as poor collection efficiency due to a short diffusion length.
Describes an optical clearing method based on reversible reduction of tissue scattering due to refractive index matching of scatterers and ground matter. This technique is a promising technique for developments in the fields of tissue imaging, spectroscopy, phototherapy, and laser surgery.
The guide arose from a survey of UK users and manufacturers/developers to assess detector equipment usage and calibration, in order to identify the factors influencing the accuracy of measurements obtained with detector array equipment, and thus develop calibration techniques and establish best practice procedures.
