Opis

Light and Optics: Principles and Practices offers a detailed and focused treatment for anyone in need of authoritative information on this critical area underlying photonics. Using a consistent approach, the author leads readers step-by-step through each topic. Each skillfully crafted chapter first explores the theoretical concepts of each topic, and then demonstrates how these principles apply to real-world applications by guiding readers through experimental cases illuminated with numerous illustrations. The text discusses standard tools, equipment, and devices that are universally available in most labs and includes a 12-page, full-color insert containing nearly 20 images from the text.
