内容説明
Covering the basics of optics at undergraduate level, this book assumes a modest mathematical background and it should be used in parallel with the usual mathematics courses needed by physicists and engineers. Topics covered include; the behaviour of light-waves in fibres, guided-wave structures, non-linear materials, the principles underlying laser action, and laser characteristics and applications. There are well chosen examples to illustrate the more difficult ideas introduced in the text. This text on optics starts at an elementary level and should be suitable for students whose previous grounding in physics is limited to that likely to be covered in an integrated science course. It is however assumed that the student will be following, concurrently with the optics course, an appropriate course of mathematics. Thus familiarity with complex numbers and vectors will be assumed. Much of the material in the first nine chapters lays the foundations for what follows. Chapters 10-13 cover topics whose importance has increased enormously since the arrival of the laser.
Chapter 14 heralds the impending takeover of the communication field from electrons to photons and Chapter 18 deals with the classical ideas of non-linear optics and introduces the developments resulting, from the availability of the laser. Three chapters on various aspects of optical measurements follow illustrating the very wide range of types of measurement which are possible using optical means. Chapter 19 reveals how one goes beyond the levels of subjective judgment in a scientific approach to the question of assessment.

内容説明
The changes taking place in the educational scene are such that departments of physics will in due course be dealing with incoming students with a more limited experience of their subject than has been the case in the past. This text on optics starts at an elementary level and should be suitable for students whose previous grounding in physics is limited to that likely to be covered in an integrated science course. It is however assumed that the student will be following, concurrently with the optics course, an appropriate course of mathematics. Thus familiarity with complex numbers and vectors will be assumed. Much of the material in the first nine chapters lays the foundations for what follows. Chapters 10-13 cover topics whose importance has increased enormously since the arrival of the laser. Chapter 14 heralds the impending takeover of the communication field from electrons to photons and Chapter 18 deals with the classical ideas of non-linear optics and introduces the developments resulting, from the availability of the laser.
Three chapters on various aspects of optical measurements follow illustrating the very wide range of types of measurement which are possible using optical means. Chapter 19 reveals how one goes beyond the levels of subjective judgment in a scientific approach to the question of assessment.
