Practical, user-oriented reference for engineers who must incorporate and specify coatings for filters, antiglare effects, polarization, or other purposes in optical or electro-optical systems design. Focuses on preparation techniques and characteristics of commercially available products and provides information needed to determine what type of filter is needed to solve a particular problem, what its limitations are, and how to care for it.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Better to wait for Macleod's 3rd edition,
By Brother Gump (Salt Lake City, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Optical Thin Films: User Handbook (SPIE PRESS Monograph Vol. PM37) (Paperback)
I bought a used copy of Optical Thin Films at a book show for $ 1. I would say that one dollar is about the fair price for Rancourt's book. It gives very little insight into the design of optical filters, and the discussion of technology was dated even at the time of publishing (1987); thirteen years later, the book borders on Cro-Magnon. Instead, I'm "chomping at the bit" to get Angus Macleod's latest version of his old workhorse, Thin Film Optical Filters, due out any day now.
