Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder

Abstract

This chapter provides an extended overview on today’s glass optical optical materials, which are commonly used for optical components and systems. In Sect. 5.1 the underlying physical background on light-matter interaction is presented, where the phenomena of refraction (linear and nonlinear), reflection, absorption, emission and scattering are introduced. Sections 5.2-5.8 focus on the detailed properties of the most common types of optical materials, such as glass, glass ceramics, optoceramics, crystals, and plastics. In addition, special materials displaying “unusual nonlinear” or “quasi-nonreversible” optical behavior such as photorefractive or photorecording photorecording solids are described in Sect. 5.10. The reader could use this chapter as either a comprehensive introduction to the field of optical materials or as a reference text for the most relevant material information.
