"This is the first text/reference dedicated to this subject, presenting a clear picture of the propagation of optical waves in layered media, and how to design and analyze optical devices using these materials." -American Meteorological Society The present treatment bridges the gap between theory and practice by means of numerical examples based on real-life situations. Only classical electrodynamics is used in dealing with the interaction of light with matter, except in the last chapter on quantum wells. Included are tables containing indexes of refraction, extinction coefficients, birefringence, and other important material properties.Yeh, Pochi is the author of 'Optical Waves in Layered Media', published 2005 under ISBN 9780471731924 and ISBN 0471731927.
