Thin-Film Optical Filters, Fourth Edition

Written by a world-renowned authority of optical coatings, this best-selling book explores the properties, production, and performance of optical filters. It discusses the fundamental theory and techniques of thin-film optics, including the admittance diagram and vector method, and covers antireflection and high-reflectance coatings. The preeminent author presents applications of filters and coatings in several areas, including astronomy and atmospheric temperature sounding. He also provides the basic mathematics needed to perform thin-film calculations. This edition contains a new chapter on color in optical coatings as well as a new section on gain in optical coatings.
