Sommario/riassunto |
|
Mirrors are mesmerizing. The rhetorical figure that represents a mirror is called a chiasmus , a pattern derived from the Greek letter X (Chi). This pattern applies to sentences such as “one does not live to eat ; one eats to live .” It is found in myths, plays, poems, biblical songs, short stories, novels, epics. Numerous studies have dealt with repetition, difference, and Narcissism in the fields of literature, music, and art. But mirror structures, per se , have not received systematic notice. This book analyses mirror imagery, scenes, and characters in French prose |

texts, in chronological order, from the 17th to the 20th centuries. It does so in light of literal, metaphoric, and rhetorical structures. Works analysed in the traditional French canon, written by such writers as Laclos, Lafayette, and Balzac, are extended by studies of texts composed by Barbey d’Aurevilly, Georges Rodenbach, Jean Lorrain, and Pieyre de Mandiargues. This work appeals to readers interested in linguistics, French history, psychology, art, and material culture. It invites analyses of historical and ideological contexts, rhetorical strategies, symmetry and asymmetry. Ovid’s Narcissus and Alice in Wonderland are paradigms for the study of micro and macro-structures. Analyses of mirrors as cultural artefacts are significant to Lowrie’s sight seeing . |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest achievements in the field of optical fiber lasers, covering the basics, technology, and numerous applications. Optical fiber lasers are key in a variety of scientific, military, medical, industrial, and commercial spheres, and therefore have undergone rapid innovation. Each chapter highlights a novel development in refining fiber laser features such as the output lasing wavelength, output power, nature of the laser beam, nature of the output laser pulse, design of lasing cavity, and design of fiber structure. These improvements are then applied to a wide variety of lasers, including Raman fiber lasers, gas-filled fiber lasers, rare-earth doped fiber lasers, and more. This book also sheds light on the rise in AI-enabled fiber laser systems in industrial manufacturing. The in-depth coverage of the latest developments in various kinds of optical fiber laser technology ensure this volume will serve as a valuable resource for graduate students, engineers, and scientists both experienced and new to the field. |
