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.

Wave Optics in Infrared Spectroscopy starts where conventional books about infrared spectroscopy end. Whereas the latter are based on the Bouguer-Beer-Lambert law, the cornerstones of this book are wave optics and dispersion theory.

This gap between both levels of theory is bridged to allow a seamless transition from one to the other. Based on these foundations, the reader is able to choose which level of theory is adequate for the particular problem at hand. Advanced topics like 2D correlation analysis, chemometrics and strong coupling are introduced and viewed from a wave optics perspective. Spectral mixing rules are also considered to better understand spectra of heterogeneous samples. Finally, optical anisotropy is examined to allow a better understanding of spectral features due to orientation and orientational averaging. This discussion is based on a 4 x 4 matrix formalism, which is used not only to simulate and analyze complex materials, but also to understand vibrational circular dichroism from a (semi-) classical point of view.

Wave Optics in Infrared Spectroscopy is written as a tool to reunite the fragmented field of infrared spectroscopy. It will appeal to chemists, physicists, and chemical/optical engineers.

Thomas Mayerhöfer studied chemistry at the University of Regensburg, Germany where he received his diploma in 1996. He obtained his PhD from the Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena, Germany in 1999. In 2006 he finished his habilitation in physical chemistry on the ""Optics and IR-Spectroscopy of Polydomain Materials"". Since the end of 2007, he has worked at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology in Jena, Germany. One of his main areas of interest is on reuniting and advancing the fragmented field of IR spectroscopy based on wave optics and dispersion theory. He has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed papers, predominantly as first author.
