Solid State and Quantum Theory for Optoelectronics (Hardcover): Michael A. Parker Solid State and Quantum Theory for Optoelectronics (Hardcover)
Michael A. Parker
R5,469 Discovery Miles 54 690 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

While applications rapidly change one to the next in our commercialized world, fundamental principles behind those applications remain constant. So if one understands those principles well enough and has ample experience in applying them, he or she will be able to develop a capacity for reaching results via conceptual thinking rather than having to always rely on models to test various conditions. In Solid State and Quantum Theory for Optoelectronics, Michael Parker provides a general conceptual framework for matter that leads to the matter-light interaction explored in the author's Physics of Optoelectronics (CRC Press). Instead of overburdening readers with the definition-theorem- proof format often expected in mathematics texts, this book instructs readers through the development of conceptual pictures. Employing a proven pedagogic approach, as rigorous as it is intuitive, Professor Parker - Provides several lead-ins to the quantum theory including a brief review of Lagrange and Hamilton's approach to classical mechanics and the fundamental quantum link with Hilbert space Demonstrates the Schroedinger wave equation from the Feynman path integral Discusses standard topics such as the quantum well, harmonic oscillator, representations, perturbation theory, and spin Expands discussion from the density operator and its applications to quantum computing and teleportation Provides the concepts for ensembles and microstates in detail with emphasis on the derivation of particle population distributions across energy levels Professors Parker includes problems to help readers understand and internalize the material. But just as important, the working-through of these problems will help readers develop the sort of approach that, instead of wholly relying on models, enables them to extrapolate solutions guided by informed intuition developed over the course of formal study and laboratory experiment. It is the kind of conceptual thinking that will allow readers to move with deeper understanding from optical applications to more theoretical topics in physics.

Image Super-Resolution and Applications (Paperback): Fathi E. Abd El-Samie, Mohiy M. Hadhoud, Said E. El-Khamy Image Super-Resolution and Applications (Paperback)
Fathi E. Abd El-Samie, Mohiy M. Hadhoud, Said E. El-Khamy
R1,892 Discovery Miles 18 920 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book is devoted to the issue of image super-resolution-obtaining high-resolution images from single or multiple low-resolution images. Although there are numerous algorithms available for image interpolation and super-resolution, there's been a need for a book that establishes a common thread between the two processes. Filling this need, Image Super-Resolution and Applications presents image interpolation as a building block in the super-resolution reconstruction process. Instead of approaching image interpolation as either a polynomial-based problem or an inverse problem, this book breaks the mold and compares and contrasts the two approaches. It presents two directions for image super-resolution: super-resolution with a priori information and blind super-resolution reconstruction of images. It also devotes chapters to the two complementary steps used to obtain high-resolution images: image registration and image fusion. Details techniques for color image interpolation and interpolation for pattern recognition Analyzes image interpolation as an inverse problem Presents image registration methodologies Considers image fusion and its application in image super resolution Includes simulation experiments along with the required MATLAB (R) code Supplying complete coverage of image-super resolution and its applications, the book illustrates applications for image interpolation and super-resolution in medical and satellite image processing. It uses MATLAB (R) programs to present various techniques, including polynomial image interpolation and adaptive polynomial image interpolation. MATLAB codes for most of the simulation experiments supplied in the book are included in the appendix.

P.F. Goldsmith
R5,576 Discovery Miles 55 760 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Electrical Engineering Quasioptical Systems Gaussian Beam Quasioptical Propagation and Applications The increasing commercial use of millimeter wavelengths for remote sensing, communications, and radar systems has driven the need for new low-cost, high-performance systems, and with it, the need for quasioptical systems. Advantages of quasioptical propagation include broader bandwidth, lower insertion loss, better polarization purity, and higher power-handling capability. As this book illustrates, quasioptical system design using Gaussian beam propagation is relatively straightforward, yielding valuable insights without requiring extensive computations. Combining a general introduction to Gaussian beams and quasioptical propagation with practical applications, Quasioptical Systems provides a state-of-the-art treatment of the design of low-loss, broadband systems at microwave to submillimeter wavelengths. The approach presented involves utilizing a beam with a Gaussian distribution of field strength perpendicular to its axis, which in turn propagates in a simple, predictable fashion. Features include:

  • A convenient summary of Gaussian beam propagation formulas
  • Extensive coverage of present-day quasioptical components and their performance
  • In-depth coverage of dielectric materials uses at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths
  • An analysis of lenses and mirrors used as beam focusing elements
  • An integrated approach to quasioptical system design
This book will be of key interest to systems designers, antenna engineers, communications and radar systems engineers, and researchers.
