Sommario/riassunto |

Although considered a minor genre for a long time, the art of landscape has risen above its forebears - religious and historic painting - to become a genre of its own. Giorgione in Italy, the Brueghels of the Flemish School, Claude Lorrain and Poussain of the French School, the Dutch landscape painters and Turner and Constable of England are just a few of the great landscapists who have left their indelible mark on the history of landscape and the art of painting as a whole.After serving for |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"The only book on the market to seamlessly explore the physical and technical aspects of nonlinear effects as well as their impacts and applications, Nonlinear Effects in Optical Fibers provides a comprehensible introduction to the complex nonlinear phenomena occurring within optical fibers. This valuable resource for students, researchers, and developers explores virtually all the latest and most significant research results in the field of nonlinear fiber optics, including: highly nonlinear and photonic fibers; intrachannel nonlinear effects; dissipative and dispersion-managed solitons; and potential applications of nonlinear effects in the area of optical signal processing"-- |
