Opis

This book is quite simply the Bible for the field of optical thin films. It gives the most complete introduction to thin film optical coatings addressed to manufacturers and users alike. This fifth edtion continues in this role, offering a complete update on current design, manufacture, performance, and applications. Among new topics are absorbers and coherent perfect absorbers, photonic crystals, and metamaterials for optical coating. In additon, the author has added substantial new information on scattering, composite materials, wire grid polarizers, laser damage, and a complete update of applications.
