This fourth volume of a four-volume textbook covers the oscillations of systems with one or more degrees of freedom; the concept of waves, focusing on light and sound; phase and group velocities, their physical meaning, and their measurement; diffraction and interference of ligh…
This book presents the most complete translation to date of Erwin Schrödinger?s work on colorimetry. In his work Schrödinger proposed a projective geometry of color space, rather than a Euclidean line-element. He also proposed new (at the time) colorimetric methods? in detail an…
Advances in Optical Form and Coordinate Metrology covers the latest advances in the development of optical form and coordinate measuring instruments plus the manipulation of point cloud data. The book presents some basic principles of the optical measurement methods and takes a …
Orbital Angular Momentum States of Light provides an in-depth introduction to modelling of long-range propagation of orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes as well as more general structured light beams through atmospheric turbulence. Starting with angular spectrum method for diff…
This book provides an introductory overview of a variety of novel light beams, covering their basic physics and optics, and discussing new cutting-edge applications to which they give rise in science, technology, and medicine. Following a short introduction, topics include optic…
Collective Light Emission: Many quantum emitters covers several recent essential topics related to collective light emissions from many quantum emitters. Light-matter interactions in quantum systems form one of the complicated dynamical systems. Owing to its complexity, research…
This book offers an overview of the state-of-the-art of visible light communication (VLC) systems across emerging areas of increasing importance within the field. It is divided into two parts, with the first describing the latest developments in data communication using VLC tech…
This book studies the application of quantum mechanics to some of the most current and notable concepts in the area, such as quantum optics, cryptography, teleportation, and computing. Written as a complete and comprehensive course text, this book works through mathematically ri…
Terahertz (THz) radiation with frequencies between 100 GHz and 30 THz has developed into an important tool of science and technology, with numerous applications in materials characterization, imaging, sensor technologies, and telecommunications. Recent progress in THz generation…
Singularities are pervasive throughout nature and this book is one of the first to combine all aspects of singular optics and to give a detailed view of the subject. Singularities in Optical Physics and Engineering give a thorough introduction to singularities and their developm…
This book gives a comprehensive overview on the principles of optical imaging. The first seven chapters provide an extensive summary of optical design, as well as the mechanisms and interrelations leading to the formation of aberrations and the accompanying decrease in imaging p…
Advances in Optical Surface Texture Metrology covers the latest advances in the development of optical surface texture measuring instruments. Rather than concentrate on the basic principles of the optical measurement methods, this book takes a deeper dive into the operation of t…
The reality of sunlight-based sailing in space began in May 2010,℗ℓ and solar sail technology and science have continued to evolve rapidly through new space missions. Using the power of the Sun's light℗ℓfor regular travel propulsion will be the next major leap forward in our jou…
This book offers a detailed and stimulating account of the Lagrangian, or variational, approach to general relativity and beyond. The approach more usually adopted when describing general relativity is to introduce the required concepts of differential geometry and derive the fi…
Rafelski presents Special Relativity in a language deemed accessible to students without any topical preparation - avoiding the burden of geometry, tensor calculus, and space-time symmetries - and yet advancing in highly contemporary context all the way to research frontiers. Sp…
"This monograph demonstrates the latest developments in two-photon fluorescence microscopy and second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy, including coverage of high-resolution microscopy methods, such as STED microscopy. A special focus lies on clinical applications of these m…
Lasers are ubiquitous--from deep space communication to lab on the chip to supermarket product scanning. Although they form an integral part of optics and photonics and are extensively used in research areas of science and technology to create multibillion dollar industries, the…
