About this title

Synopsis

The latest edition in the field of physical optics incorporates revisions to the text and illustrations, as well as references to recent contributions to the literature. The historical introduction is followed by detailed information clearly presented on all aspects of the subject including basic properties of the electromagnetic field, geometrical theory of optical imaging, elements of the theory of aberrations and the optics of crystals.

Book Description

Principles of Optics is one of the classic science books of the twentieth century, and probably the most influential book in optics published in the past 40 years. The new edition is the first ever thoroughly revised and updated edition of this standard text and contains much new material. This standard work has been on the market for nearly 40 years and reprinted 16 times. The new edition will continue to be invaluable to advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers working in most areas of optics.
