{"product_id":"9781783265374","title":"BIREFRINGENT THIN FILMS (2ND ED)","description":"Birefringent Thin Films and Polarizing Elements (2nd Edition) includes the significant advances that have been made since the first book on tilted-columnar films was published. The major discovery of serial bideposition has led to a normal-columnar nanostructure with enhanced birefringence and in turn to nanoengineered handed films with properties matching the left-circular reflectors of scarab beetles. A second version of the Matlab software that accompanies the book includes algorithms for computing material, electromagnetic and optical properties of isotropic, birefringent and chiral films. A set of numerical and experimental examples chosen to illustrate and generate interest in these new fields will be of interest to graduate students and to researchers in optics.","brand":"Imperial College Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46549101740273,"sku":"9781783265374","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781783265374_p0.jpg?v=1765555751","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783265374","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
