Progress in Optics : Volume 43 (Progress in Optics)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Hardbound. The seven reviews articles presented in this volume cover a broad range of subjects. The first article is concerned with the use of active optics in modern, large telescopes. The second article discusses variational methods used in nonlinear fiber optics and in related fields. The article by O. Keller which follows deals with a topic of historical interest. The article presents a fascinating account of researches of the Danish physicist L.V. Lorenz who in 1867 established the electrodynamic theory of light, independently of the work of James Clerk Maxwell.The fourth article is concerned with the canonical quantum description of light propagation in dielectric media. The fifth article by D. Dragoman describes the similarities and the differences between classical optics and quantum mechanics in phase space. The article by R. Boyd and D. Gauthier which follows, summarizes recent research on pulse propagation effects in resonant material system. T

Concerned with the use of active optics in modern, large telescopes and discusses variational methods used in nonlinear fiber optics and in related fields. Should be of interest to many scientists concerned with optical theory or with optical devices.
