Extract from the Foreword:
“I am honored to have been invited to write a Foreword to the Handbook of Visual Display Technology, a monumental work indeed!…This book, to the best of my knowledge, is the first of its kind….The [...]
This book summarises recent progress in the science and technology of rare-earth doped nitrides, providing a snapshot of the field at a critical point in its development.
Improved theoretical understanding of the behaviour of f-electrons in solids, driven by accelerating computational capability, has coincided with an improved ability of crystal growers to incorporate rare earth elements [...]
Generalized Phase Contrast elevates the phase contrast technique not only to improve phase imaging but also to cross over and interface with diverse and seemingly disparate fields of contemporary optics and photonics.
This book presents a comprehensive introduction to the Generalized Phase Contrast (GPC) method including an overview of the range of current and potential applications [...]
The purpose of the book is to show how general principles can be used to obtain insight into laser processes. The principles used may come from fundamental physical theory or from direct observation of experimental results, but an understanding of the general characteristics of the behaviour of a process is essential for intelligent investigation and [...]
