Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The invention of the semiconductor laser along with silica glass fiber has enabled an incredible revolution in global communication infrastructure of direct benefit to all. Development of devices and system concepts that exploit the same fundamental light-matter interaction continues. Researchers and technologists are pursuing a broad range of emerging applications, everything from automobile collision avoidance to secure quantum key distribution. This book sets out to summarize key aspects of semiconductor laser device physics and principles of laser operation.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Scattering of light by light is a fundamental process arising at the quantum level through vacuum fluctuations. This short book will explain how, remarkably enough, this quantum process can be described in terms of classical quantities. The description is derived from general principles, such as causality, unitarity, Lorentz and gauge symmetries. The reader will be introduced into a rigorous formulation of these fundamental concepts, as well as their physical interpretation and applications.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - While there are many good books in particle physics, there are very few non-specialist comprehensive descriptions of quantum field theory. The intention of this short book is to offer a guided tour of that innermost topic of theoretical physics, in plain words and avoiding the mathematical apparatus, but still describing its various facets up to the research frontier.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This book presents the theory of electromagnetic pulses in a simple and physical way. All pulses discussed are exact solutions of the Maxwell equations, and have finite energy, momentum and angular momentum. The subject matter is restricted to free-space classical electrodynamics, but contact is made with quantum theory in proofs that causal pulses are equivalent to superpositions of photons.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Lens Design: Automatic and quasi-autonomous computational methods and techniques is the first book that interactively describes the newest lens design tools. Detailing design methods for a variety of lens forms, this book shows that fixed focus and zoom lenses can be optimized, and it will help experienced and aspiring lens designers to develop excellent designs henceforth.
