Introduction to Optics: International Edition - Softcover

A comprehensive, applications oriented introduction to geometrical optics, wave optics and modern optics which does not require students to have previously studied electricity and magnetism. The book covers all the traditional elements of an optics course together with the modern topics that have revolutionised the field - holography, fibre optics, lasers and laser beam characteristics, Fourier optics and nonlinear optics. This new edition features several completely new chapters and sections to give greater emphasis to these topics and there are new problems and highlighted worked examples.
