Opis

This account of the principles and applications of magnetooptics is aimed at the graduate physicist and electrical engineer, but assumes no specialist knowledge of magnetooptics. The text is divided into three main sections: the principles of magnetooptics, providing the historical background, with an emphasis on introducing practical considerations through examples taken from real-life situations; a survey of magnetooptic materials; and applications of magnetooptics in practical devices, including modulators, switches, memory devices and waveguides.

Recenzje

"… a useful introduction to the main concepts of magnetooptics covering both theory and experiment, and aimed at engineers researchers and students in … solid state physics, opto-electronics, communications, and materials science."
-Aslib Book Guide

"… [the] magnetooptical materials … coverage is impressive [and] the authors have presented a good overview of the subject … a very fine reference book … plays a very useful role and I would recommend it for your science libraries."
-Australian & New Zealand Physicist
