SPIE e-books
Access the world’s largest collection of light-based technologies.
The SPIE eBooks Collection offers over 430 highly specialized titles ranging from the fundamentals of optics to cutting-edge photonics applications. With SAM, you license the resources that drive your research and development.
THE STRUCTURE OF THE SPIE PRESS LIBRARY
In order to meet the different requirements in research, teaching and practice, SPIE divides its publications into four established formats:
- Monographs: Comprehensive reference works and handbooks for in-depth scientific work.
- Tutorial Texts: Didactically prepared textbooks for getting started in new research areas.
- Field Guides: Compact, practical reference works with formulas and data for direct use in the laboratory.
- Spotlight eBooks: short digital tutorials that deal specifically with niche topics and new technology trends.
FOCAL POINTS OF THE DIGITAL LIBRARY
The collection covers all critical areas of modern optics. Particularly noteworthy are the leading publications in the following clusters:
- Optical design & lasers: laser systems, fiber optics and astronomical optics.
- Imaging & Biophotonics: Digital image processing, medical technology and remote sensing.
- Lithography & Nanotechnology: World-leading expertise in semiconductor manufacturing, nanophotonics and quantum technologies.
