Glass and Optical Materials II: Optoelectronics, Thin Film Coating Sol-Gel Processing

This useful text details many practical aspects of formulating, synthesizing, and analyzing a new generation of optoelectronic materials, thin-film dielectrics and sol-gel-derived materials. Novel chemistries are investigated and fabricated using several processing techniques. The newly formed materials are analyzed as they perform in optical applications, e.g., switches, waveguides, lasers, amplifiers, etc. Ceramic researchers and product developers will benefit from a review of the findings included in these papers.
