    Book SynopsisPhotorefractive polymer composites are an unusually sensitive class of photopolymers. Physics of Photorefraction in Polymers describes our current understanding of the physical processes that produce a photorefractive effect in key composite materials. Topics as diverse as charge generation, dispersive charge transport, charge compensation and trapping, molecular diffusion, organic composite structure, and nonlinear optical wave coupling are all developed from a physical perspective. Emphasis is placed on explaining how these physical processes lead to observable properties of the polymers, and the authors discuss various applications, including holographic archiving.Table of ContentsPhotorefractive polymer composites are an unusually sensitive class of photopolymers.

  • Birkhauser Boston Mathematical Theory of Diffraction Progress in Mathematical Physics 35

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIndeed, his diffraction analysis is a surprisingly rich and complex mix of pure and applied mathematics, and his often-cited diffraction solution is presented only as an application of a much more general set of mathematical results.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: “This is a very nice book for those interested in the theory of diffraction since it presents, for the first time in English, the strikingly original work of Sommerfeld—which marks a milestone in optical theory—enriched with historical background and technical details. The interest of this book is not only historical but also technical as it presents a surprisingly rich and complex mix of pure and applied mathematics.”(MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS) "This book offers the first publication in English of Sommerfeld’s original work, together with extensive notes by the translators, and it can be recommended to anyone interested in the theory of diffraction. … The translator’s notes (64 pages) are very illuminating for the reader by providing a lot of historical remarks, technical details, and a nice account of previous diffraction analyses of Kirchhoff and Poincaré." (Johannes Elschner, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1109 (11), 2007)Table of ContentsMathematical Theory of Diffraction.- 1. General problem formulation.- 2. Expansions in Bessel functions.- 3. Transition from ?u = 0 to ?u + k2u = 0.- 4. Bessel functions as the simplest examples.- 5. Everywhere finite solutions.- 6. Solutions with a singularity.- 7.
