Prepared under the auspices of the Optical Society of America, the five carefully architected and cross referenced volumes of the Handbook of Optics, Third Edition, contain everything a student, scientist, or engineer requires to actively work in the field.




Individual chapters are written by the world's most renowned experts who explain, illustrate, and solve the entire field of optics. Each volume contains a complete chapter listing for the entire Handbook, extensive chapter glossaries, and a wealth of references. This pioneering work offers unprecedented coverage of optics data, techniques, and applications.
Volume V covers atmospheric optics, modulators, fiber optics, and x ray and neutron optics.
