The book has been designed for easy use and is a must for researchers in the field. ... Read more

Product Description
In this book algebraic methods are developed according to modern quantum theory and applied to the classical waveguide theory of active and passive graded-index waveguide structures with regular and/or random longitudinal inhomogeneities. An analogy is drawn between corresponding wave equations in classical aerodynamics or acoustics and Schrodinger's equation in quantum mechanics in order to arrive at an analytical solution to the problem. Graded-index waveguides take place in many physical systems of practical interest (in optoelectronics or fibre optics, heterostructure lasers, graded-index lenses, gas lenses, laser propagation through atmosphere, underwater acoustic channels in oceans, radio waveguides in the ionosphere, acoustic channels in the earth). Full attention is paid to excitation of modes, beam propagation effects, mode coupling phenomena and control of the beam properties. ... Read more

Product Description
Neutrinos are one of the most abundant particles in the universe. Because they have very little interaction with matter, however, they are incredibly difficult to detect. Neutrinos are similar to the more familiar electron, with one crucial difference: neutrinos do not carry electric charge. Because neutrinos are electrically neutral, they are not affected by the electromagnetic forces which act on electrons. Three types of neutrinos are known. Each type or 'flavour' of neutrino is related to a charged particle (which gives the corresponding neutrino its name). Hence, the 'electron neutrino' is associated with the electron, and two other neutrinos are associated with heavier versions of the electron called the muon and the tau. The book presents citations from the literature for the last three years from the journal literature and the existent book literature. Access is provided by subject, author and title indexes. ...
