System Details:

System requirements for accompanying computer disk (TURBO RANK 2.21): IBM PC or compatible; at least 300 Kb free disk space; can run in MS DOS 3.0-MS DOS 6.2, DR DOS 6.0; MS Windows 3.1-3.11, PC DOS operational environments.

Summary:

A unique and invaluable reference book with accompanying software. Starting from basic principles the book presents a detailed introduction to the concept of optical susceptibilities of crystalline media. Substantial appendices include useful tables of third-, fourth- and fifth-rank susceptibility tensors for major nonlinear optical effects. Integral to the book is an entirely original TURBO RANK software package (compatible with IBM PC's running MS-DOS and Windows) which allows the calculation of the symmetry of material tensors up to seventh rank. This package is also useful for scientists working in solid state physics, crystallography, acoustics and materials engineering. The software effectively supersedes conventional reference tables of high rank tensors.
