Opis

Based on a course offered at Moscow State University, this text comprehensively presents the fundamentals of modern physical optics. The concepts of classical and quantum radiation theories, nonlinear physics, statistics, and Fourier transformations are shown to form the bedrock of modern optics and optical physics. Subjects include lasers, nonlinear optics, optical spectroscopy, and optical fields. The material is much more topical than that in conventional textbooks, and it provides a picture of physical optics as an expert would see it, but in a form accessible to a student.

Recenzje

The quality of this book is really on a high standard and on a pedagogical high level... It will provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals within this wide field... What I esteem highly of this present book is the excellent print and the well drawn figures, as well as many small important physical remarks distributed all over the texts... I can recommend this work to students in physics, engineering and natural sciences as well as a good reference for experts.
