Synopsis

Optical coatings found in almost all optical instruments and devices are frequently the ultimate determinants of performance. This text is a rigorous review of the theory, manufacture and use of thin-film coatings, ranging from basic electromagnetic ideas to the operation of coating plants. The book collects data from a wide range of sources and will provide a useful introductory text for graduates in physics, optics and electrical engineering, technicians and specialists in optics, aerospace and the scientific instrument industry, newcomers to the field, and an invaluable reference for the wide range of specialists using thin-film coatings. This edition is a complete revision of the first, containing much new material and now using SI units.

About this title

Review

..."essential reading for all those involved in the design, manufacture and application of optical coatings. a valuable addition to many bookshelves." -- Materials World, September 2001 .." continues to be a very practical guide." -- ASLIB Book Guide "The third edition is no less rich and includes expanded references and information on many advances in design and technology since the second edition was published in 1986 . . . [it] is a must-have addition to the library of any optical thin-film theorist or practitioner. It provides extensive methods to use in achieving desired optical performance for a broad range of coating types and extensive references for one to use in delving deeper into these topics." -- Dale E Morton, Denton Vacuum, LLC, in SVC News "It is obvious from the details of his career that Angus knows more about optical coatings, both in terms of design and of fabrication than most of us put together. It is therefore quite expected that I feel free to state that, in my opinion, this book is a necessity, rather on par with having the use of a coating facility, a good coating programme and a fast computer, for anybody in the field of thin-film optical coatings and filters. Therefore, if you are new in this field, your first priority should be to make sure that you have the undivided use of a copy of this book. . . All in all, the book is a good statement of the state of the art of thin-film deposition theory and practice at the turn of the millenium." -- Roger M Wood in Elsevier
