The field of optics has grown enormously since the advent of lasers. The fields of nanostructures and fiber optics are producing new optical effects and applications. As a novel variation on the standard optics reference, Essentials in Optics and Spectroscopy provides a collection of optical and physical theories that is ideal reading for students, professors, manufacturers, and researchers. This book presents extensive coverage of the relationships between various systems of units, the relationships between the various units, as well as the conversion of an equation in one set of units to another set of units. It also discusses the many aspects of thin films and contains numerous figures to illustrate concepts.
