This book deals with the basic fundamentals, understanding, and design of optical thin films, or interference coatings for practical production. It focuses on one of the main subjects that is... More > critical to meeting the practical challenges of producing optical coatings. This is the design of coatings, an understanding of which allows the practitioner to know the possibilities and limitations involved in reducing, enhancing, or otherwise controlling the reflection, transmission, and absorption of light (visible or otherwise). This Fourth Edition now includes measurement of index, thickness, and color; the determination of tooling factors; and the programming of Macros, Workbooks, and FilmStar Basic.< Less
The metamorphic skull has always been one of the most popular optical illusions. From the 19th century, artists and designers have been using this kind of image in postcards, comics, advertisements... More > or covers. In this book we are showing more than fifty examples of this kind of illusion.
Many skull illusion postcards were published in the first decades of the 20th century, most of them included in the book. Skull illusions have also been used for all kinds of graphic works. There are numerous examples of pulp magazine covers, satiric posters and, in the last years, cd covers or movie posters which show them. Lots of contemporary artists, some of them present in this book, have also worked with these illusions.< Less

More > software package). The book is designed for students of the nano- and biomedical technologies department. The basic methodic purpose realized in this work is the simulation of examined physical processes and laboratory study performance through the imitation of real experiments. Let us note that computer simulation can considerably supplement the real experiments, allowing a deeper understanding of their essence and theoretical substantiation.< Less

This book deals with the typical equipment, materials, processes, and monitoring and control used in the fabrication/production of optical thin films. It focuses on the practical elements needed to... More > actually produce optical thin films. This is an essential adjunct to the design which is also required, and which is covered in the first volume of this series, "Practical Design of Optical Thin Films."< Less
