Review

"An extremely wide overview of this area of research.... The author has done a good job collecting and sorting out the work of 20 years.... A valuable reference source."
—Karl-Heinz Brenner, Applied Optics
"This is a remarkable book. Written by a computer scientist, it deals with a subject that spans several disciplines in optical physics and information technology.... It deserves wide circulation."
—S. D. Smith, Nature
