Through close readings of texts Reynolds revisits and reassesses U.S. internationalism, showing how writers and intellectuals engaged with a cluster of topics: decolonization, the rise of the Third World, Islamic difference, the end of European empires, China's enduring significance, and transatlantic and cosmopolitan identities.

Setting out from basic material properties to device structures and performance, this volume covers solid lens, membrane lens, electro-wetting lens, dielectric lens, mechanical-wetting lens, and liquid crystal lenses. Potential applications of these adaptive lenses are also investigated, including image processing and zooming, optical communications, and biomedical imaging. This is an important reference for optical engineers, research scientists, graduate students and undergraduate seniors"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aWiley series in pure and applied optics. 606 $aLenses 606 $aOptics, Adaptive 615 0$aLenses. 615 0$aOptics, Adaptive. 676 $a621.36 686 $aSCI053000$2bisacsh 700 $aRen$b Hongwen$f1964-$01647846 701 $aWu$b Shin-Tson$01647847 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823950903321 996 $aIntroduction to adaptive lenses$93995649 997 $aUNINA
