Catenary Optics (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019): Xiangang Luo Catenary Optics (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019)
Xiangang Luo
R4,947 Discovery Miles 49 470 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book offers the first comprehensive introduction to the optical properties of the catenary function, and includes more than 200 figures. Related topics addressed here include the photonic spin Hall effect in inhomogeneous anisotropic materials, coupling of evanescent waves in complex structures, etc. After familiarizing readers with these new physical phenomena, the book highlights their applications in plasmonic nanolithography, flat optical elements, perfect electromagnetic absorbers and polarization converters. The book will appeal to a wide range of readers: while researchers will find new inspirations for historical studies combining mechanics, mathematics, and optics, students will gain a wealth of multidisciplinary knowledge required in many related areas. In fact, the catenary function was deemed to be a "true mathematical and mechanical form" in architecture by Robert Hooke in the 1670s. The discovery of the mathematical form of catenaries is attributed to Gottfried Leibniz, Christiaan Huygens and Johann Bernoulli in 1691. As the founders of wave optics, however, Hooke and Huygens did not recognize the importance of catenaries in optics. It is only in recent decades that the link between catenaries and optics has been established.

Erwin Schroedinger's Color Theory - Translated with Modern Commentary (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017): Keith K. Niall Erwin Schroedinger's Color Theory - Translated with Modern Commentary (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
Keith K. Niall; Translated by Keith K. Niall
R3,370 Discovery Miles 33 700 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book presents the most complete translation to date of Erwin Schroedinger's work on colorimetry. In his work Schroedinger proposed a projective geometry of color space, rather than a Euclidean line-element. He also proposed new (at the time) colorimetric methods - in detail and at length - which represented a dramatic conceptual shift in colorimetry. Schroedinger shows how the trichromatic (or Young-Helmholtz) theory of color and the opponent-process (or Hering) theory of color are formally the same theory, or at least only trivially different. These translations of Schroedinger's bold concepts for color space have a fresh resonance and importance for contemporary color theory.

Light - The Physics of the Photon (Hardcover): Ole Keller Light - The Physics of the Photon (Hardcover)
Ole Keller
R5,462 Discovery Miles 54 620 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

From the early wave-particle arguments to the mathematical theory of electromagnetism to Einstein s work on the quantization of light, different descriptions of what constitutes light have existed for over 300 years. Light The Physics of the Photon examines the photon phenomenon from several perspectives. It demonstrates the importance of studying the photon as a concept belonging to a global vacuum (matter-free space).

Divided into eight parts, the book begins with exploring aspects of classical optics in a global vacuum on the basis of free-space Maxwell equations. It then describes light rays and geodesics and presents a brief account of the Maxwell theory in general relativity. After discussing the theory of photon wave mechanics, the author gives a field-quantized description of the electromagnetic field, emphasizing single-photon quantum optics in Minkowskian space. He next focuses on photon physics in the rim zone of matter, paying particular attention to photon emission processes. He also takes a closer look at the photon source domain and field propagators, which conveniently describe the photon field propagation in the vicinity of and far from the electronic source domain. The last two parts discuss the photon vacuum and light quanta in Minkowskian space as well as two-photon entanglement, which is associated with the biphoton in space-time."
