An Open Access Encyclopedia for Photonics and Laser Technology
________________________________________
I came across this site and found it to be of interest and thought I would share:
An Open Access Encyclopedia for Photonics and Laser Technology
Quote:
This comprehensive open-access encyclopedia, authored by Dr. Rüdiger Paschotta and provided by RP Photonics Consulting GmbH, explains the physical principles and common techniques in laser technology, while also covering major areas of fiber-optic technology and nonlinear optics, and addressing supplementary topics like ultrashort pulses, optical communications, general optics, optoelectronics, and quantum optics. Many references to selected scientific articles and textbooks aid further studies.
Quote:
This encyclopedia is authored by Dr. Rüdiger Paschotta, the founder and executive of RP Photonics Consulting GmbH . . .
So far, the encyclopedia contains 589 technical articles. Of course, the nature of such kind of projects is that they are never finished – feedback in the form of comments, corrections and suggestions is welcome.
Not to take away from the apparent wealth of information at this site, but for some reason I find the safety hazard picture (Edit - removed link to image ) on this page way too funny.
