Classical Optics & Its Applications
Editorial Reviews
Review
'Masud Mansuripur describes phenomena that we all know we should understand, even if our recollection is hazy ... Forget photonics, it is classical optics that turns today's optical inventions into real products and processes that benefit society ... I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone in optics who is interested in doing something useful.' Chris Dainty, Nature
' ... if you know some optics ... the chances are that there will be something here to interest you.' Nick Ellis, The Industrial Laser User
'I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone in optics who is interested in doing something useful. Everyone will learn something, and refresh their memory on subjects that are fundamental to so many practical devices that use optics.' Chris Dainty, Nature
Book Description
In thirty-seven self-contained chapters this book covers a broad range of topics in classical optics. The chapters in the first half deal primarily with basic optical concepts, while those in the second half describe how these concepts can be used in a variety of technological applications. Each chapter introduces and develops a specialized topic in a comprehensive manner. Mansuripur provides the reader with accessible discussions of optical phenomena, aided by numerous diagrams and computer simulation images, with minimal mathematical detail. Topics covered include classical diffraction theory, optics of crystals, peculiarities of polarized light, thin-film multilayer stacks and coatings, geometrical optics and ray-tracing, optical microscopy, interferometry, coherence, holography, and nonlinear optics.
