This book is quite simply the Bible for the field of optical thin films. It gives the most complete introduction to thin film optical coatings addressed to manufacturers and users alike. This fifth edtion continues in this role, offering a complete update on current design, manufacture, performance, and applications. Among new topics are absorbers and coherent perfect absorbers, photonic crystals, and metamaterials for optical coating. In additon, the author has added substantial new information on scattering, composite materials, wire grid polarizers, laser damage, and a complete update of applications.

H. Angus Macleod is President of Thin Film Center Inc., in Tucson, Arizona, and Professor Emeritus of Optical Sciences Center at the University of Arizona. Dr. Macleod is a graduate of Glasgow University and has been granted honorary doctoral degrees from the Council for National Academic Awards (London) and the University of Aix-Marseille in France. He is the author of over 200 academic publications, and has taught courses on optical topics all over the world, with class audiences ranging from one person to over two hundred people. He specializes in teaching techniques for understanding and logical thinking that avoid complicated theory without oversimplification.

Dr. Macleod is the recipient of numerous professional honors, including the Gold Medal (1987) from SPIE, the Esther Hoffman Beller Medal (1997) from the Optical Society of America, the Nathaniel H. Sugerman Memorial Award (2002) from the Society of Vacuum Coaters, and the Senator Award (2008) from the European Vacuum Coaters.
