Optical metrology, the science of measuring light, has applications in industry and health, enabling non-destructive evaluation of materials and the study of cellular structures. This book explains recent optical imaging techniques carried out by the author in these fields.
Optical metrology, the science and technology of measuring light, finds extensive applications across various sectors, including industry and health. In industry, optical metrology allows for accurate measurement of dimensions, shapes, and surface profiles of mechanical components. This is crucial in industries like aerospace, automotive, and precision engineering. Also, techniques like optical imaging, laser scanning, and holography facilitate non-destructive evaluation of materials and structures. In health, optical metrology enables to study of cellular structures, dynamics, and interactions with exceptional resolution, advancing fields like cell biology, neuroscience, and pharmacology. This book explains in detail the more recent optical imaging techniques carried out by the author in the field of industry and health.
This book is a comprehensive introduction to the physics of intense laser-plasma interaction, motivated by applications in high-energy-density physics. For master’s and graduate students, it combines accessible theory with up-to-date developments and practical exercises.
This book scrutinises quantum optic experiments, revealing hitherto ignored phenomena. It shows that there are no quantum optic “miracles” once the physically present effects are correctly identified, leading to a new understanding of quantum locality and realism.
Explore the improved optical detectors, from UV to far-infrared, that power a new era of measurement. This guide helps scientists and engineers select, build, and calibrate instruments for superior accuracy and expanded applications.
This book provides a precise idea of what an atom or molecule is using quantum theory. To overcome student comprehension difficulties, it insists on the importance of underlying physical principles, such as particle-wave duality, indeterminism, and presence probability.
Over the past 60 years, optics has changed radically. The invention of the laser led to new branches of the field. This work unites traditional and modern optics into a single theory, using modern mathematical tools and a heuristic approach.
