Book description
Filling the gap for a description of the optical properties of small
particles with sizes less than 1000 nm and to provide a comprehensive
overview on the spectral behavior of nanoparticulate matter, this is the
most up-to-date reference on the optical physics of nanoparticle
systems. The author, an expert in the field with both academic and
industrial experience, concentrates on the linear optical properties,
elastic light scattering and absorption of single nanoparticles and on
reflectance and transmittance of nanoparticle matter. Dr. Michael
Quinten works as Chief Technical Coordinator at FRT GmbH in Bergisch
Gladbach, Germany. Having obtained his diploma degree and Ph. D. in
physics (1989) at the University of Saarland, Saarbruecken, Germany, he
joined the Technical University RWTH Aachen in 1990. He then spent four
years at several universities in Graz, Austria, Chemnitz, Aachen,
Saarbruecken and Bochum, Germany. During this academic period from 1983
to 2000, he authored 50 scientific publications with topics in optical
properties of nanoparticles, nanoparticle materials and aerosols. In
2001 he joined the ETA-Optik GmbH, Germany, where he first worked in
research and development of integrated optics components and later
became product manager in the Colour and Coatings Division. In 2007 he
moved to FRT GmbH where he is responsible for the optical sensor
technology division.
