Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering takes an integrated approach in that one specific structure, characteristic, or property type is covered in turn for all three basic material types: metals, ceramics, and polymeric materials. This presentation permits the early introduction of non-metals and supports the engineer’s role in choosing materials based upon their characteristics. Fundamentals of Optical Fibers, Second Edition offers readers a timely and consistent introduction to the fundamental principles of light propagation in fibers. In it, the author reviews, in depth, fundamental wave guiding concepts, the influence of various fiber structures and materials on light transmission, nonlinear light propagation effects occurring in fibers, and various measurement techniques.

Optical Engineering is the study and practice of using, detecting, transmitting, and manipulating light to engineer products and systems. Optical engineering impacts modern devices and systems involved in communication, display, data storage, illumination and remote sensing. This book covers such topics as Basic optical principles, including geometrical optics, optical aberration, diffraction theory, optical interference, and crystal optics; Light source, detectors, radiometry, photometry and colorimetry; and Trends/state-of-the-art in optical technologies/devices, including holography storage, fiber communication, optical testing and optical display.
