SPIE eBooks

Welcome to SPIE eBooks, the online source for books from three valuable SPIE Press series in optics and photonics:

SPIE Press Monographs are authoritative reference books, textbooks, and handbooks.
Tutorial Texts cover fundamental and emerging topics at introductory and intermediate levels.
Field Guides present key information that students and practicing engineers and scientists need in a concise format.

At the beginning of 2012, SPIE eBooks included 156 books; each year, 15 or more new titles and editions will be added as they are published. SPIE Press books are available as eBooks before they are in print.

Institutions may subscribe to SPIE eBooks. Please contact SPIE or your librarian for information on obtaining full access to SPIE eBooks. An individual whose institution has not acquired SPIE eBooks may purchase and download individual chapters from SPIE eBooks or purchase the print book. Visit the SPIE Online Bookstore to learn where you may buy SPIE Press books as personal eBooks.
