Work at the razor's-edge of electronics with this far-reaching reference that covers not just lasers, but all the exciting developments in electro-optics-the use of heat-reducing optical devices and light in electronics systems.The one-and only-single-source guide to this fast-rising technology, the Electro-Optics Handbook brings you the latest advances in ever-shrinking electro-optical circuitry, the entire range of lasers, and all types of x-ray, UV, and other electro-optical equipment. Culling the insights of both designers and the field's A-list experts, the Handbook overflows with 1,000 pages of hands-on technical assistance, accompanied by more than 500 helpful illustrations, detailed charts, diagrams, and data tables. And now, the Second Edition contains nearly 300 pages of new material, covering: Optical communications. Electro-optic devices-visible detectors, infrared detectors, acousto-optic devices. High-intensity optical fields. And more Whether you're an electronic engineer, optical engineer, or designer, no more comprehensive-or economical-sourcebook exists to help you work at the vanguard of this challenging frontier. Find details on UV, VUV, and x-ray lasers. Compare solid state, semiconductor, and infrared gas lasers. Look up data on ultrashort laser pulses. Explore visible and infrared optical materials. Find full data on optical fibers. Learn about laser spectroscopy and photochemistry. Discover high-resolution lithography for optoelectronics. Get details on optical and optoelectrical integrated circuits. Share technical advances in holography, imaging detectors, communications, high-intensity fields, and more. Turn to appendices for quick reference answers.
