✦ Synopsis

This is a comprehensive introduction to thin-film

optical filters written for professionals in industry

and those entering the field. It also provides a

solid foundation for students on appropriate

graduate courses.

It provides a unified treatment of the design,

manufacture, performance and application of

optical thin films. It includes the mathematics

necessary for the reader / user to carry out

thin-film calculations. Contains extensive

reference to the original literature. The coverage

of optical filters includes antireflection and

high-reflectance coatings.

Readership

Written for all users of optical coatings as an

introduction and reference. For people working in

industry, particularly optical system and

component manufacturers; researchers in

physics, and engineering departments

investigating the growth, properties and

applications of thin films.
