Overview

This is the third volume of the very successful set. This updated volume will contain non-linear properties of some of the most useful materials as well as chapters on optical measurement techniques.

Contributors' Decisions

Contributors have decided the best values for n and k.

References and Data Examination

References in each critique allow the reader to go back to the original data to examine and understand where the values have come from.

Spectral Data and Techniques

Allows the reader to determine if any data in a spectral region needs to be filled in.

Experimental Techniques

Gives a wide and detailed view of experimental techniques for measuring the optical constants n and k.

Crystal Structure and Properties

Incorporates and describes crystal structure, space-group symmetry, unit-cell dimensions, number of optic and acoustic modes, frequencies of optic modes, the irreducible representation, band gap, plasma frequency, and static dielectric constant.
