Bøger i Multidisciplinary and Applied Optics serien

This book describes the optical structure and optical properties of the human eye. It is divided into a number of short chapters with each chapter dedicated to a single theme. For ease of reference, the most commonly useful topics are at the beginning and topics with narrower appeal, such as ocular aberrations, are placed towards the end.

This book covers the current key challenges of the research in the area, including: exploiting new material platforms, fully extending the device operation into the nonlinear regime, adding re-configurability to the envisaged devices and proposing new modeling tools to help in conceiving new functionalities.

Neutron optics involves studying the interactions of matter with a beam of free slow neutrons. This book discusses two major sources for the production of beams of free slow neutrons: (1) fission reactions at nuclear reactors and (2) collisions in particle accelerators (small ones, spallation sources) of proton beams with targets of heavy atoms.

This book presents an introduction to the foundations, interpretations, and data-analytic applications of symmetry studies with an emphasis on applications in optical sciences. Symmetry studies connect group theoretic and statistical methods for data summary and inference.
