The updated third edition of the only textbook on colour The
revised third edition of Colour and the Optical Properties of
Materials focuses on the ways that colour is produced, both in the
natural world and in a wide range of applications. The expert
author offers an introduction to the science underlying colour and
optics and explores many of the most recent applications. The text
is divided into three main sections: behaviour of light in
homogeneous media, which can largely be explained by classical wave
optics; the way in which light interacts with atoms or molecules,
which must be explained mainly in terms of photons; and the
interaction of light with insulators, semiconductors and metals, in
which the band structure notions are of primary concern. The
updated third edition retains the proven concepts outlined in the
previous editions and contains information on the significant
developments in the field with many figures redrawn and new
material added. The text contains new or extended sections on
photonic crystals, holograms, flat lenses, super-resolution optical
microscopy and modern display technologies. This important book:
Offers and introduction to the science that underlies the everyday
concept of colour Reviews the cross disciplinary subjects of
physics, chemistry, biology and materials science, to link light,
colour and perception Includes information on many modern
applications, such as the numerous different colour displays now
available, optical amplifiers lasers, super-resolution optical
microscopy and lighting including LEDs and OLEDs Contains new
sections on photonic crystals, holograms, flat lenses,
super-resolution optical microscopy and display technologies
Presents many worked examples, with problems and exercises at the
end of each chapter Written for students in materials science,
physics, chemistry and the biological sciences, the third edition
of Colour and The Optical Properties of Materials covers the basic
science of the topic and has been thoroughly updated to include
recent advances in the field.
