Title: Practical Design and Production of Optical Thin Films
Description: Providing insider viewpoints and perspectives unavailable in any other text, this book presents useful guidelines and tools to produce effective coatings and films-containing expanded discussions on design visualization, dense wavelength division multiplexing, new coating equipment, electrochromic and chemically active coatings, ion-assisted deposition, and optical monitoring sensitivity. Introduces Fourier analysis and synthesis without difficult mathematical concepts and equations!Furnishing real-world examples and know-how to assist in the formulation of films and coatings, the Second Edition of Practical Design and Production of Optical Thin Films offersadditional examples of design of experiments methodology for process development, optimization, and stabilizationformulas and strategies to estimate, monitor, and control layer thicknessapproaches to predict design performance and reliabilitytime- and cost-effective procedures in coating productionnumerous graphics for clear illustration of system designsolutions to limitations encountered in the reduction and enhancement of light transmission, reflection, and absorptionFrom materials selection and process development to successful system construction and optimization, Practical Design and Production of Optical Thin Films, Second Edition is a timely and comprehensive reference for optical thin film designers, research scientists, and technicians; thin film process engineers; thin film production engineers and operators; optical engineers and designers; and lens designers; and an excellent text for upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students in these disciplines.
