This handbook--a sequel to the widely used Handbook of Optical Constants of Solids--contains critical reviews and tabulated values of indexes of refraction (n) and extinction coefficients (k) for almost 50 materials that were not covered in the original handbook. For each material, the best known n and k values have been carefully tabulated, from the x-ray to millimeter-wave region of the spectrum by expert optical scientists. In addition, the handbook features thirteen introductory chapters that discuss the determination of n and k by various techniques.* Contributors have decided the best values for n and k* References in each critique allow the reader to go back to the original data to examine and understand where the values have come from* Allows the reader to determine if any data in a spectral region needs to be filled in* Gives a wide and detailed view of experimental techniques for measuring the optical constants n and k* Incorporates and describes crystal structure, space-group symmetry, unit-cell dimensions, number of optic and acoustic modes, frequencies of optic modes, the irreducible representation, band gap, plasma frequency, and static dielectric constant

Plasmonics is entering the curriculum of many universities, either as a stand alone subject, or as part of some course or courses. Nanotechnology institutes have been, and are being, established in universities, in which plasmonics is a significant topic of research. Modern Plasmonics offers a comprehensive presentation of the properties of surface plasmon polaritons, in systems of different structures and various natures, e.g. active, nonlinear, graded, theoretical/computational and experimental techniques for studying them, and their use in a variety of applications. - Contains material not found in existing books on plasmonics, including basic properties of these surface waves, theoretical/computational and experimental approaches, and new applications of them - Each chapter is written by an expert in the subject to which it is devoted - Emphasis on applications of plasmonics that have been realized, not just predicted or proposed

The use of plastic optics instead of glass offers a number of advantages. Most importantly, it is far less expensive, and therefore opens a huge potential for mass production. It also offers the opportunity to use unique element configuration. This book gives a coherent overview over the current status of injection molded optics describing in detail all aspects of plastic optics, from design issues to production technology and quality control. The focus is firmly set on practical applications, making this an indispensable information source for all those working in optics research and development. The contributors, each one a leading expert in his chosen discipline, possess either a background in industry or close relations to the industry, thus bringing in an ample amount of practical experience.
