Handbook of Optical Materials (The Crc Press Laser and Optical Science and Technology Series)

by Marvin J. Weber (Author)



Review
Weber has prepared a handbook that authoritatively compiles physical properties for numerous bulk materials used in practical optical systems and lasers. Summing Up: Recommended.
-O. Eknoyan, Texas A&M University
[This book] is an excellent reference for being able to quickly compare the physical differences or similarities of optical materials generally used in today's laser and optical systems. Readers who work with and design lasers or optical systems for commercial or research purposes would find this handbook to be a very useful reference for their work.
- IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, Vol. 20, No. 5, Sept-Oct. 2004

More than 1,000 crystalline materials are covered in the first section of this book, which is appropriate for a handbook on materials . The straightforward organization of the data tables makes it easy to find parameters. This handbook could serve as a comprehensive desktop reference for engineers or physicians.

Product Description
For years scientists turned to the CRC Handbook of Laser Science & Technology for reliable data on optical materials. Out of print for several years, that standard-setting work now has a successor: the Handbook of Optical Materials. This new handbook is an authoritative compilation of the physical properties of materials used in all types of lasers and optical systems. In it, scientist, author, and editor Dr. Marvin J. Weber provides extensive data tabulations and references for the most important optical materials, including crystals, glasses, polymers, metals, liquids, and gases. The properties detailed include both linear and nonlinear optical properties, mechanical properties, thermal properties together with many additional special properties, such as electro-, magneto-, and elasto-optic properties. Using a minimum of narration and logically organized by material properties, the handbook's unique presentation simplifies the process of comparing different materials for their suitability in particular applications. Appendices furnish a wealth of other useful information, including lists of the many abbreviations and acronyms that proliferate in this field. The Handbook of Optical Materials is simply the most complete one-stop source available for materials data essential to lasers and optical systems.
