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 have decided the best values for n and k- References in each critique allow the reader to go back to the original data to examine and understand where the values have come from- Allows the reader to determine if any data in a spectral region needs to be filled in- Gives a wide and detailed view of experimental techniques for measuring the optical constants n and k- 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
