Know about the book -

Photonic Glasses is written by Fuxi Gan and published by World Scientific. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9814477885 (ISBN 10) and 9789814477888 (ISBN 13).

This book introduces the fundamental mechanism of photonic glasses — the linear and nonlinear optical effects in glass under intense light irradiation: phot-induced absorption, refraction, polarization, frequency, coherence and monochromaticity changes. Emphasis is placed on new developments in the structure, spectroscopy and physics of new glassy materials for photonics applications, such as optical communication, optical data storage, new lasers and new photonic components and devices. The book presents the research results of the authors in new glasses for photonics over the last decade.
