Simone Malacrida

Simone Malacrida (1977) Ha lavorato nel settore della ricerca (ottica e nanotecnologie) e, in seguito, in quello industriale-impiantistico, in particolare nel Power, nell'Oil&Gas e nelle infrastrutture. E' interessato a problematiche finanziarie ed energetiche. Ha pubblicato un primo ciclo di 21 libri principali (10 divulgativi e didattici e 11 romanzi) + 91 manuali didattici derivati. Un secondo ciclo, sempre di 21 libri, è in corso di elaborazione e sviluppo.

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

In this book, the main optical components that translate the majority of the interaction effects between electromagnetic waves and matter into technological practice are presented in a summary way.

The importance of these components has grown in recent decades in relation to the extraordinary development of telecommunications and, in general, of the entire information technology sector.

On the other hand, basic physics had already highlighted the main characteristics of lasers and optical components since the 1960s, perfecting the physics of matter,
