Kurzbeschreibung
As most crystals are generated by crystals, the interaction between light and crystals is vital to the success of any optics-related endevour. This paperback reprint of the classic reference provides a new generation of engineers and physicists with the fundamental knowledge needed to study this complex interaction.
Describes how laser radiation propagates in natural and artificial materials and how the state of radiation can be controlled and manipulated (phase intensity, polarization) by various means. New concepts and useful techniques are described in the problems. Includes many figures, tables, and examples.
