Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

In recent years, optical properties of the unique atomic and molecular structures of materials have drawn great scientific interest. Linear optical properties of materials such as metals, metal oxides, magnetic oxides, and organic materials are based on energy transfer and find applications in wastewater treatment, forensic science, biomedical science, photovoltaics, nuclear technology, and LED displays. Nonlinear optical properties of materials are based on the nonlinear medium and find more advanced applications in frequency mixing generations and optical parametric oscillations.

This book presents the underlying principles, implementation, and applications of the linear and nonlinear optical properties of materials and has been divided into two parts emphasizing these properties. The first part of the book, Linear Optics, discusses bimetallic nanoparticles in dielectric media and their integration to dye molecules to detect trace amounts of heavy metals at the nanometer level, as well as to enhance luminescence and image contrasts in forensic inspection and biomedical diagnosis. It shows how the integration of bimetallic nanoparticles into a ZnO matrix promotes broadening of the absorption spectrum from the ultraviolet to the visible wavelength. It explains the role of surface adsorption and photocatalytic degradation in dye-removal kinetics by Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles under pulsed white light. It also discusses the double-layer shielding tank design to safely store radioactive waste and photon propagation through the multilayer structures of a human tissue model. The second part of the book, Nonlinear Optics, presents general concepts such as electromagnetic theory, nonlinear medium, and wave propagation, as well as more advanced concepts such as second harmonic generation, phase matching, optical parametric interactions, different frequency generation, sum frequency generation, tunable laser, and optical resonant oscillator.

Reviews for Linear and Nonlinear Optics: Materials, Properties, and Applications

This book describes some of the linear and nonlinear optical properties of materials. The theory is clearly presented and easy to follow. Many excellent applications and examples are presented throughout the book. Questions are given in each chapter, with their answers at the end of the book. The book is useful for both students and workers in the field. -Prof. James C. Wyant, University of Arizona, USA The book covers the basic theory of linear and nonlinear optics and various practical applications, including MATLAB programming codes. It also provides many equations, figures, and problems to enhance understanding. I recommend this book for college students and researchers in related fields. -Prof. Hiroshi Yoshikawa, Nihon University, Japan This book presents the underlying principles of the linear and nonlinear optical properties of materials. It is divided into two parts. The first part, Linear Optics, discusses optical properties, implementation and applications of noble metals, metal oxides, magnetic oxides and organic materials. The author has also included his original research work and its interesting outcome. Part two, Nonlinear Optics, covers the general concepts of electromagnetic theory and wave propagation in a nonlinear medium. Finally, the author discusses second harmonic generation, phase matching, optical parametric interactions, different frequency generation, sum frequency generation, tunable lasers and optical resonant oscillators. There are illustrations, examples and problem sets with solutions for each chapter, which makes it a helpful resource for problem solving. The book is suitable for students and researchers in optical physics and related fields. -Reva Garg, University of Brasilia, Brazil
