Applied Optics and Opto-Electronics, 1998: Proceedings of the Applied Optics Divisional Conference of the Institute of Physics, Held at Brighton, 16-19 March 1998 FROM THE PUBLISHER Recent years have seen a rapid growth in the field of Applied Optics and Optoelectronics, mostly from the standpoints of industrial applications and research. This has largely been due to the advantages that optical technology offers in a wide range of situations and thus the research into, and anticipation of, future applications is an area which is subject to considerable world-wide interest. This conference, in March 1998, incorporated a broad spectrum of scientists and engineers from around the world. The proceedings include contributions from the IOP Optical Group, Instrument Science and Technology Group and the Fringe Analysis Special Interest Group and the wide range of contents reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the subject which will help to facilitate the cross fertilization of ideas within the community. The proceedings comprise papers from the following programme streams: Optics 1998; Actuators, Sensors and Instrumentation; Fringe Analysis and Underwater Optics.
FROM THE CRITICS Booknews Comprises 56 papers from the March 1998 conference reflecting the wide range of the field (within a generation, it has developed from a traditional aspect of the physics curriculum to a dynamo of the revolution in communications and information technology). The papers are grouped under five subject categories: fringe analysis; actuators, sensors, and instrumentation; underwater optics; optical thin films; and optical interferometric testing. A sampling of specific topics: comparison of carrier rremoval methods in Fourier transform fringe analysis, digital signal processing for fast OCT imaging, and heterodyne interferometry for remote sensing underwater. No subject index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
