This second edition of a bestseller covers time-varying anisotropic media, frequency and polarization transformer based on a switched magnetoplasma medium in a cavity, and FDTD numerical simulation for timevarying complex medium. Providing a primer on the theory of using magnetoplasmas for the coherent generation of tunable radiation, early chapters use a mathematical model with one kind of complexity— eliminating the need for high-level mathematics. Using plasma as the basic medium to illustrate the transformation of an electromagnetic wave by a complex medium, the text highlights the effects of each kind of complexity in the medium properties.

Classical and Quantum Optics by NonInteraction of Waves Chandrasekhar Roychoudhuri University of Connecticut, Storrs, USA
This work explains how the non-interaction of waves principle applies to both classical and quantum optics. Focusing on waves in the linear domain, it explores ambiguous, contradictory, and paradoxical concepts that exist in spite of apparently correct mathematical formulations.

This book describes the fundamental aspects of nonlinear optics from basic principles to examples of applications. Starting from the polarization induced by an electric field in a material, it related the induced polarization to the propagating fields. The properties of the induced polarization is described through a material response expressed both in the time and frequency domain. This also includes a discussion of the spatial symmetry properties relevant for various materials. The coupling between induced polarization and the propagating field as well as new frequency components generated is discussed on the basis of nonlinear propagation equation.

Series: Optical Science and Engineering
Featuring more than 700 references, equations, tables, and drawings, this highly lauded and best-selling reference emphasizes practical designs of over 30 lens systems, including single-element, two-element achromats, air-spaced triplets, projection lenses, and sophisticated wide-angle and zoom lenses. It comes with software that supplies starting solutions for computer optimization programs lens prescriptions and several shorter programs to compute the refractive index of glasses from a variety of manufacturers, create lens drawings, perform zoom computations, do test glass fitting, and calculate third-order solutions for single lenses, achromats, and triplets.
While photoacoustic imaging is probably the fastest growing biomedical imaging technology, this is the first comprehensive volume in this emerging field to cover both the physics and the noninvasive applications that are changing diagnostic medicine. Photoacoustic Imaging and Spectroscopy examines this exciting area of research, offering complete coverage of photoacoustic, optoacoustic, and thermoacoustic imaging. Featuring 200 illustrations, this volume illustrates the superiority of photoacoustic images over x-ray and ultrasonic images.
