This all-purpose, two-volume set represents the most complete collection of descriptive material and tabulated data about optics ever assembled! Its 83 chapters—contributed by the most widely respected names in the field—give you instant access to reliable information concerning every aspect of modern optics.

Prepared under the auspices of the Optical Society of America, this definitive work includes all the information you need to start solving problems in optics, from design of optical systems to day-to-day laboratory research and development. Each volume contains a complete chapter listing for both volumes, extensive chapter glossaries, and a wealth of current references to guide you to even more sources of information.

Volume II: Devices, Measurements, and Properties includes articles that cover:

  • Elements, from the traditional to more recently developed components such as integrated micro, binary, gradient index, fiber, and x-ray optics
  • Instruments, from cameras to optical scanners to spectrometers
  • Measurements, including theory and method
  • Optical and physical properties of materials, including optical properties of semiconductors, polymeric optics, and photorefractive optics
  • Nonlinear optics
