Reviews / Votes
"... extraordinarily comprehensive ... detailed up-to-date information and data ... this is the only reference book you ever need. A must-have!"-Gerald Holst, Author and Publisher, Fellow, SPIE, Winter Park, Florida
"... contents are well chosen, comprehensive and expanded upon with authority ... The Encyclopedia is a significant addition to our set of reference materials ..."
-Brian J. Thompson, Provost Emeritus and Distinguished University Professor, Professor Emeritus of Optics, University of Rochester, New York
"... has something for everyone."
-Mark G. Kuzyk, Professor and Associate Chair, Department of Physics, Washington State University, Pullman
"... structured in a manner that allows a reader, not generally familiar with the topic, rapidly to gain a penetrating understanding of the terminology, background, scope, application, [and] important analytical relationships, and guidance to locate more in-depth and related material."
-Barry Johnson, Optical E.T.C., Inc., Huntsville, Alabama
