Consequently, this is a first-class primer, pitched at a level suitable for honours students or above.\u003cbr\u003eThe first section, dealing with Quantum Cryptography, discusses the possibility of secure exchange of key material via entangled states in quantum channels. The presentation makes it clear that quantum key exchange, using quantum indeterminacy to test for an eavesdropper, offers genuine security. The discussion of experimental realisations suggests that this will be a practical technology in the not too distant future.\u003cbr\u003eThe next chapter is on Quantum \"teleportation\", the transfer of a quantum state to an entangled system at another location. This chapter includes a discussion of a number of elegant experiments.\u003cbr\u003eMuch of the book is devoted to Quantum Computing. An introduction introduces the qubit (quantum bit) and quantum logic gates, followed by a very clear exposition of quantum algorithms, and their speed advantages over classical algorithms. The presentation then moves to the practicalities of building a quantum computer. Decoherence, a formidable challenge, is covered at length. There is a tendency in some writings to understate the difficulties that decoherence might present, but here the discussion is clear and balanced. The authors then move to potential solutions; quantum error correction and entanglement purification. Finally, this book has a very good index and an extensive bibliography.

In non-linear optics, the characterisation and measurement techniques of the non-linear index are critical for understanding the non-linear physical process and developing new applications. In this book, different optical non-linearity characterisation and measurement methods are introduced and non-linear problems are discussed theoretically. This book is invaluable to advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers working in the fields of physics, materials, and chemistry.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887057219927,"sku":"9781628080933","price":155.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781628080933.jpg?v=1722542805"},{"product_id":"high-power-pp-lasers-9781631177675","title":"High Power PP Lasers","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/h2\u003eThe goal of the book is to present the high-power high-frequency pulse periodic laser systems, which in the nearest time will find a lot of applications in the field of ecology, machinery, space engineering, nuclear technologies and many others. A laser-plasma generator of multiply charged ions produces a large number of heavy ions in the regime of short periodic pulses, which is needed for ion accelerators operating in the pulse periodic regime. The source of this type is also promising for effective use in the field of heavy-ion fusion, brittle materials figure cutting, oil films elimination from the water surface and so on. This book has considered, in details, a new approach to the problem of a laser jet engine creation, which is based on the resonance merging of shock waves generated by an optical pulsating discharge, produced by such a laser. To obtain an optical pulsating discharge, the authors suggested the usage of high-power pulse-periodic laser radiation, which can be generated by wide aperture carbon dioxide, chemical and mono-module disk type solid-state laser systems. Future developments of the disk laser technology as the most effective and scalable to the level of many hundreds of kW as well are under consideration in the book.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887111450967,"sku":"9781631177675","price":177.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781631177675.jpg?v=1722543057"},{"product_id":"advances-in-optoelectronics-research-9781633212114","title":"Advances in Optoelectronics Research","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/h2\u003eThe first chapter of this compilation on optoelectronics research provides the full, exciting story of integrated silicon light-emitting devices (Si-LEDs).

Over the past 10 years investigation of ultrafast processes has expanded to material science, including aspects relevant to the solid-state such as excitation of electrons in band structures and collective phonon excitation. Specific probes for electronic and structural reorganization, such as X-ray diffraction and ARPES, have been advanced. Furthermore, experimental techniques including XFEL science, THz science and various pump–probe methods, as well as the theoretical understanding of ultrafast, out-of-equilibrium and multiscale processes driven by light or THz excitation, have seen rapid development.   This volume brings together a complementarity of internationally-leading experimental material scientists and theoreticians in this field to explore and exchange their ideas about the key aspects of ultrafast science, designing new ways to control materials and understanding transformation processes.

It introduces laser heat-mode lithography, where the resist thin films are essentially an opto-thermal response to the laser beam with changeable wavelength and are not sensitive to laser wavelength. Laser heat-mode lithography techniques greatly simplify production procedures because they require neither a particular light source nor a particular environment; further, there are no pre-baking and post-baking steps required for organic photoresists. The pattern feature size can be either larger or smaller than the laser spot by adjusting the writing strategy. The lithographic feature size can also be arbitrarily tuned from nanoscale to micrometer without changing the laser spot size. Lastly, the line edge roughness can be controlled at a very low value because the etching process is a process of breaking bonds among atoms. The book offers an invaluable reference guide for all advanced undergraduates, graduate students, researchers and engineers working in the fields of nanofabrication, lithography techniques and systems, phase change materials, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurrent status of lithography.- Principles of laser heat-mode lithography and thermal diffusion.- Laser heat-mode maskless lithography system.- Manipulation of thermal diffusion channels.- Laser heat-mode nanolithography on phase-change thin films.- Direct laser heat-mode nanopatterning on metallo-organic compound thin films.- Laser heat-mode patterning of transparent thin films.- Laser heat-mode grayscale image lithography.- Patterns transfer processes and applications.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Verlag, Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49427820577111,"sku":"9789811509421","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789811509421.jpg?v=1730565789"},{"product_id":"laser-experiments-for-chemistry-and-physics-second-edition-9780198900832","title":"Laser Experiments for Chemistry and Physics","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49881547833687,"sku":"9780198900832","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780198900832.jpg?v=1737826607"},{"product_id":"microwave-photonics-from-components-to-applications-and-systems-9781402073625","title":"Microwave Photonics From Components to","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cross-disciplinary title features contributions by key-note specialists from Europe, Israel and the United States.

However, its ultimate goal is to replace traditional illumination through LED lamps since LED lighting significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts down on carbon-dioxide emission. Despite dramatic advances in LED technologies (e.g., growth, doping and processing technologies), however, there remain critical issues for further improvements yet to be achieved for the realization of solid-state lighting. This book aims to provide the readers with some contemporary LED issues, which have not been comprehensively discussed in the published books and, on which the performance of LEDs is seriously dependent. For example, most importantly, there must be a breakthrough in the growth of high-quality nitride semiconductor epitaxial layers with a low density of dislocations, in particular, in the growth of Al-rich and and In-rich GaN-based semiconductors. The materials quality is directly dependent on the substrates used, such as sapphire, Si, etc. In addition, efficiency droop, growth on different orientations and polarization are also important. Chip processing and packaging technologies are key issues. This book presents a comprehensive review of contemporary LED issues. Given the interest and importance of future research in nitride semiconducting materials and solid state lighting applications, the contents are very timely. The book is composed of chapters written by leading researchers in III-nitride semiconducting materials and device technology. This book will be of interest to scientists and engineers working on LEDs for lighting applications.
