Short description
Following a semi-quantitative approach, Optical Properties of Condensed Matter and Applications presents a summary of the basic concepts, with examples and applications, and reviews recent developments in the study of optical properties of condensed matter systems. The book includes many examples and applications in the field of electronic and optoelectronic materials and photonics. Chapters are relatively independent, with minimal cross-referencing.
