Optics and Lasers: Including Fibers and Optical Waveguides (Physics and Astronomy Online Library)

Optics and Lasers is an introduction to engineering andapplied optics, including not only elementary ray and waveoptics, but also lasers, holography, copherence, fibers, andoptical waveguides. It stresses physicalprinciples,applications, and instrumentation. It will be most usefullto the practicing engineer or experimental scientist,graduate student, or advanced undergraduate. It containsmore than enough material from which to selelct the core ofan introctory optics course and sufficientto form the bulkof a more advanced course.
