Sumario: | "Whilst maintaining the same five-chapter structure as in the first edition, a considerable amount of new material has been added to the areas previously covered ... We have occasionally allowed ourselves to stray into the fringes of what is strictly physics, biology or medicine. We also include topics that we regard as "tomorrow's technology" even if their commercialisation is not yet with us. And we also highlight a few others which some might simply regard as quirky: the lobster's thermochromism during its cooking; the coloured materials that non-intuitively cool down when irradiated by a laser; and the male mosquito larvae with green fluorescent organs are three that spring to mind. Cutting edge research into the newer colour-producing materials such as metallic nanoparticles, quantum dots and photonic crystals is spread throughout the book. The impact of now cheap solid state lasers and their applications in multi-photon absorption processes in fields ranging from fluorescence imaging, optical data storage, photomedicine, lasers and nonlinear optics comprise another new theme throughout."--Preface |
