Optics as a subject has evolved dramatically in recent years, with many applications throughout science and technology.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From the Publisher:
A modern introduction to optics, based on wave concepts. This second edition has been fully updated, the early treatment of Fourier theory having been expanded to simplify later chapters. Covers the basic concepts of geometric optics, interference, and diffraction, and provides an introduction to lasers, holography, and the generation and detection of light. Includes much new material on modern optics, and emphasizes physical concepts, revealing the relations to other disciplines. Each chapter provides examples and exercises, notes and numerical answers being collected at the end of the book.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The second edition of this text provides an introduction to the physics of wave motion based on wave concepts. Major changes from the original edition include the introduction of Fourier Theory at an earlier stage so that reference can be made to it throughout the book, and the inclusion of new material on modern optics. The text also features the basic concepts of geometric optics, and of interference and diffraction, presented in a concise form to allow room for developments in modern optics and for the description of practical spectrometers and interferometers. Later chapters provide an introduction to lasers, holography, and to the generation and detection of light. There is an emphasis on physical concepts throughout, so that optics can be seen in relation to other disciplines such as electricity and atomic physics, and an increased number of examples with numerical answers and notes. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002218192
