Abstract
This is the third volume of the very successful set. This updated volume will contain non-linear properties of some of the most useful materials as well as chapters on optical measurement techniques.
- Contributors have decided the best values for n and k
- References in each critique allow the reader to go back to the original data to examine and understand where the values have come from
- Allows the reader to determine if any data in a spectral region needs to be filled in
- Gives a wide and detailed view of experimental techniques for measuring the optical constants n and k
- Incorporates and describes crystal structure, space-group symmetry, unit-cell dimensions, number of optic and acoustic modes, frequencies of optic modes, the irreducible representation, band gap, plasma frequency, and static dielectric constant
PRAISE FOR THE FIVE-VOLUME SET
"This set of five volumes...is a unique resource for any science and technology library. It provides materials researchers and optical device designers with reference facts in a context not available anywhere else....The community of materials researchers, spectroscopists, and optical device designers has reason to welcome the five-volume reference tool....These five books will be an invaluable addition to any researcher's library."
