These ``rules of thumb'' make it possible to get a quick idea--completely adequate for the moment--of the impact a given design change will have. Now, for the first time anywhere, these time-tested estimation rules have been gathered together in a single handy source. Arranged alphabetically according to specialty, this unique book spans the entire spectrum of photonics, from optics to lasers. Scientists and engineers, at all levels from the student through the seasoned professional, will want to keep this fast and easy-to-use reference near at hand.
