    Underwater Acoustics: A Linear Systems Theory Approach is an interdisciplinary and approachable textbook dedicated to the subject of underwater acoustics as well as its applications and research. The book, after giving an introduction and background discussion on underwater topics, covers specific areas such as the fundamentals of linear, space-variant, and time-variant filters; complex apertures; and linear, planar, and volume arrays. Also covered in the book are topics such as signal processing; wave propagation in inhomogeneous media; and random ocean medium transfer functions. Because of its interdisciplinary approach, the text is applicable for students in the fields of electrical engineering, ocean engineering, acoustics, and oceanography who are interested in underwater acoustics and sonar systems engineering.

    This volume deals with laser physics emphasizing laser theory from a physical point of view. It takes into account most recent developments focussing on the dynamics. Proceeding from simple to more difficult questions, the book treats, among other topics: typical experimental laser systems, intensities of laser light in single and multimode lasers, mode competition, hole-burning, Q-switched lasers, relaxation-oscillati... frequency shifts, population pulsations, mode-locking, ultrashort pulses, self-pulsing, laser light chaos, instability hierarchies, laser gyro, optical bistability, optical transistor, two-photon laser, laser line width, Hanbury-Brown-Twiss experiment, intensity correlations, photon statistics, quantum classical correspondence, laser phase-transition analogy, the laser as a synergetic system.

  • Physics of Solid Surfaces 1984

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 23

    • English
    In the last decade the scientific community has shown a great renewal of interest in the study of phenomena on solid surfaces. Developments in recent years have improved the level of understanding of solid surfaces, in terms of the detailed knowledge of electronic properties, surface crystalography, dynamics of gas-solid interactions, transport properties of both clean surfaces and surfaces with adsorbed species.This book contains the proceedings of the symposium which was attended by 100 scientists from 13 countries. The symposium covered important developments in theoretical and experimental studies of solid surfaces and interfaces. Thirteen invited lectures and 44 papers presented as short communications or posters made up the programme for the meeting.From the vast field covered by the symposium title, special attention was devoted to electronic structure of surfaces and interfaces, angle-resolved photoemission studies of solid surfaces, study of surface reactions and surface melting, and geometrical structure and dynamical processes at surfaces. The book is primarily directed to the surface physicists and chemists but also of interest to chemical physicists and catalysis researchers.
