THE PHYSICS OF THIN FILM OPTICAL SPECTRA - OLAF...

The book bridges the gap between fundamental physics courses (such as optics  electrodynamics 
quantum mechanics and solid state physics) and highly specialized literature on the
spectroscopy  design  and application of optical thin film coatings. Basic knowledge from the
above-mentioned courses is therefore presumed. Starting from fundamental physics  the book
enables the reader derive the theory of optical coatings and to apply it to practically
important spectroscopic problems. Both classical and semiclassical approaches are included.
Examples describe the full range of classical optical coatings in various spectral regions as
well as highly specialized new topics such as rugate filters and resonant grating waveguide
structures. The second edition has been updated and extended with respect to probing matter in
different spectral regions  homogenous and inhomogeneous line broadening mechanisms and the
Fresnel formula for the effect of planar interfaces.
