A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Optics is a subject that touches every part of life and one that has evolved dramatically in recent years. Optics and Photonics: An Introduction brings together in one book both the basics of the subject and an introduction to recent developments and applications. Although emphasis is placed on an understanding of the fundamentals, many diverse applications have been included to highlight the e and importance of optics in everyday life. Carefully structured, the reader is led from first and theories through to diffraction and properties of interference, and then on to more advanced and interesting concepts and applications. Optics and Photonics An Introduction * Provides a thorough introduction to this rapidly developing and increasingly diverse subject. * Is a balanced introduction both to geometric optics, diffraction, interferometry and spectroscopy, and to photonics including lasers, optical fibres, holography, semiconductor optics and optics in nature. * Includes many examples, applications and problems. This textbook is an essential, modern introduction to the field of optics and photonics, and will be of interest to all science and engineering students.
