This book traces the development of the monist world-view in Germany from the Age of Goethe to the 1920s. Originally a core idea in the philosophy of Spinoza, monism, the idea of a universe of one substance that is both mind and matter, inspired many German thinkers from Goethe to Fechner, especially the infamous social Darwinist Ernst Haeckel. This study contrasts Haeckel's monism with the more benign monist world-views of his predecessors and of his socialist and left-liberal contemporaries and followers, above all Bruno Wille and Wilhelm Bölsche.

The most comprehensive and up-to-date optics resource available Prepared under the auspices of the Optical Society of America, the five carefully architected and cross-referenced volumes of the Handbook of Optics, Third Edition, contain everything a student, scientist, or engineer requires to actively work in the field. From the design of complex optical systems to world-class research and development methods, this definitive publication provides unparalleled access to the fundamentals of the discipline and its greatest minds. Individual chapters are written by the world's most renowned experts who explain, illustrate, and solve the entire field of optics. Each volume contains a complete chapter listing for the entire Handbook, extensive chapter glossaries, and a wealth of references. This pioneering work offers unprecedented coverage of optics data, techniques, and applications. Volume IV covers optical properties of materials, nonlinear optics, and quantum optics.

A model of the additive-pulse modelocked (APM) laser is developed, with an emphasis on nonlinear dynamics. The APM laser has been traditionally used as a stable, pulsed light source, with multiple regions of instability that hamper useful operation. Many of these instabilities are deterministic, resulting from large levels of nonlinearity, and can be exploited if understood. In this thesis, the different elements of a typical APM laser are studied, and their effects incorporated into a four-equation iterative model. The essentials of nonlinear dynamics are then presented, as tools for identifying and characterizing deterministic instabilities. The APM model is then used to simulate the laser under conditions of high non-linearity, giving rise to quasiperiodicity, period-doubling, crises, and chaos. The chaotic regions of operation are characterized by embedding dimension and largest lyapunov exponent, and some sample attractors are plotted in three dimensions. The identification of the period-doubling route to chaos, the Lyapunov exponent quantification of the chaos, and the proof of quasiperiodicity and crisis behavior all represent new accomplishments and valuable insight into the APM laser dynamics.
