Wave Optics in Infrared Spectroscopy starts where conventional books about infrared spectroscopy end. Whereas the latter are based on the Bouguer-Beer-Lambert law, the cornerstones of this book are wave optics and dispersion theory. This gap between both levels of theory is bridged to allow a seamless transition from one to the other. Based on these foundations, the reader is enabled to choose which level of theory is adequate for a particular...

Unlike metals, non-metallic electro-conductive textiles are polymeric, flexible, durable, moldable, and light weight.
