Description

This textbook is designed to serve as an up-to-date treatment of physical optics for students. It concisely presents a quantitative development of physical optics by following Maxwell's equations and basic physics. This approach provides readers with the tools necessary to solve problems and develop a mathematical intuition for the subject based on their own experience. It is also notable for tying together many basic concepts and then applying these concepts in application problems.

Table of Contents

Maxwell's equations and plane wave propagation. Material polarization and dispersion. Wave propagation in anisotropic media. Geometrical optics. Interference. Diffraction.
