DESCRIPTION:
These methods have found applications in plasma diagnostics, in connection with flow characterisation and in the design of new optical instruments. The next article is concerned with gap solitons which are electromagnetic field structures which can exist in nonlinear media that have periodic variation in their linear optical properties, with periodicities of the order of the wavelength of light. It looks at the state-of-the-art of our understanding of this subject and discusses the most important methods that are presently employed to compensate for image distortion caused by atmospheric turbulence.. Both qualitative and quantitative descriptions of gap solitons are presented and some experimental schemes for their detection in the laboratory are discussed. The second article presents a review of an interesting class of non-linear optical phenomena which have their origin in the dependence of the complex dielectric constant of some media on the light intensity. These phenomena which include self-focusing, self-trapping and self-modulation have found many applications, for example in fibre optics devices, signal processing and computer technology. The fina
Perfect Slick Filler fenomas Man - I had Gladiator and The Mist blurays in my cart, as well as a car iPod adapter cable, and my total was 24.98. Just a mere two cents shy of the coveted Super Saver Shipping.This book, Progress in Optics dinged me up right to 25 dollars even. Talk about a bargain!Some people say this book comes cheap at just 2 cents - but hey, it actually saved me money! Like a negative cost! Awesome!Will use this as a Slick Filler again!. The Disney World of Optics Riveting book! Couldn't put it down! Kept me on the edge of my seat! I highly recommend this literary amusement park ride!
No volume of Progress in Optics needs a long review: you just need to know that a new one has appeared and to make sure your librarian has a standing order. -- Applied Optics
