1.		Schaum's Outline of Optics from McGraw-Hill Price: $10.48 Customer Review: It is helpful supplements to a standard text book with lots of solved problems, mainly if you have the author text book with the same name. In some issues can serve as a text book. It has well done organization. In some topics elucidate some matter because provide numerics examples. I highly... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Fundamentals of Modern VLSI Devices from Cambridge University Press Price: $39.52 Customer Review: Despite a writing style that reads drier than a cracker, this book succinctly covers the math you will need to analyze CMOS devices. The authors' IBM industry background seems to have shaped this practical engineer's guide.

6.		Quantum Mechanics for Scientists and Engineers (Classroom Resource Materials) from Cambridge University Press Price: $60.00 Customer Review: It's rare that I am happy about the textbook I assign for classes; many texts cover the wrong material, have significant holes, or are difficult for students to follow. I had used Miller's lecture notes a number of years ago as an undergrad, so I was excited when this book was published in time for... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Introduction to Light Emitting Diode Technology and Applications from Auerbach Publications Price: $61.01 Customer Review: This book provides a simple introduction to LED technology. It is written as a reference book, so may be entered at nearly any point. Unfortunately this decision drives a lot of redundant text. The intended reader is someone with little or no background in physics - the emphasis is mainly on LED... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Tom Swift and His Great Searchlight; or, on the border for Uncle Sam Customer Review: The Tom Swift series, and other children's books from the early twentieth century, will probably not enthrall today's technologically sophisticated youngsters. But the Swift books convey a sense of what technology was and how middle-American society operated a hundred years ago. In Tom Swift's day,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Building Electro-Optical Systems: Making It all Work (Wiley Series in Pure and Applied Optics) from Wiley Price: $81.51 Customer Review: I am going to buy this book. I have a fairly large electro-optic library myself and if it's another one of those books thats full of crap like "Photonic Rules of Thumb" I will beat you with it. Spend some time in your lab, teach yourself the tips and tricks and stop building lasers that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Nonlinear Fiber Optics, Second Edition (Optics and Photonics) from Academic Press Price: $20.00 Customer Review: There are so many careless errors in the most important equations in this book. Some plots are wrong too. Some claims are ungrounded. Not for entry level. For expert who already knows this stuff and who can easily spot his errors. Otherwise you will be so confused and almost wanted to kill... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Optical System Design, Second Edition from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $72.73 Customer Review: This is a must have book for anyone doing optical design or who want to use an optical design program. The book is great whether one is a novice or a professional at optical design.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Make: Technology on Your Time Volume 16 from Make Price: $8.94 Customer Review: The DIY (Do It Yourself) movement is very much alive and well, and one periodical that carries the DIY banner is Make magazine. I really liked Make: Technology on Your Time Volume 16 this month, as it touched on some projects that cover a subject I've always been fascinated with... spying. :)more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		The Complete Idiot's Guide to Solar Power for your Home, 2nd Edition from Alpha Price: $6.48 Customer Review: It was simply not as simple as I thought it might be. However, I have an electric expert as a friend, and between the two of us we can do the job.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Optoelectronics and Photonics: Principles and Practices from Prentice Hall Price: $96.68 Customer Review: This is an introductory text, and not at the same level as Yariv's books or Rosencher's Optoelectronics or Chuang's Physics of Optolelectronic Devices, etc. However, holding this book will not break your wrist (like Saleh and Teich's Photonics, another good introductory text) and is on a similar... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

18.		Photonics: Optical Electronics in Modern Communications (The Oxford Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $55.93 Customer Review: This text struggles to relate the mathematics to the theory.

23.		The Physics of Low-dimensional Semiconductors: An Introduction from Cambridge University Press Price: $55.00 Customer Review: As a graduate student working on semiconductor devices, this book is an incredible reference. Davies only assumes about an undergraduate familiarity with the subject, making the text a great "bridge" from core textbooks to research papers. There have been many occasions when, upon not understanding... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


24.		Introduction to Fiber Optics, Third Edition from Newnes Price: $31.95 Customer Review: I'm an engineer becoming familiar with fiberoptics. This book is very oriented towards the non-engineer. Much space is devoted to explanation of terms dB, and basic laws of physics. The issue of multimode vs single mode is handled too cavalierly. The reader is left faced with an undesirable trait... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


25.		Optical Coherence Tomography: Principles and Applications from Academic Press Price: $87.19 Customer Review: A book that covers all important aspects of this technology,from development to various biomedical applications.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


26.		Physics of Photonic Devices (Wiley Series in Pure and Applied Optics) from Wiley Price: $80.67 Customer Review: This is by far the worst book I have had the displeasure of cracking open. The only place this belongs is the bathroom floor, just in case you run out of toilet paper and there are no bibles laying around. Despite his heavy accent, Chuang made no spelling errors in his book. This is because the book... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.		Soft X-Rays and Extreme Ultraviolet Radiation: Principles and Applications from Cambridge University Press Price: $52.11 Customer Review: I lent this book from the library in our institute, and this book is very suitable to us, who do research with Synchrotron Radiation in the region of soft X-ray. Many directions of research for soft X-ray are included in this book. I can't afford it because it is very expensive for me, although I... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
