Optics and Lasers

Optics and Lasers is an introduction to engineering and
applied optics, including not only elementary ray and wave
optics, but also lasers, holography, copherence, fibers, and
optical waveguides. It stresses physicalprinciples,
applications, and instrumentation. It will be most usefull
to the practicing engineer or experimental scientist,
graduate student, or advanced undergraduate. It contains
more than enough material from which to selelct the core of
an introctory optics course and sufficientto form the bulk
of a more advanced course.

This introduction to engineering and applied optics includes not only elementary ray and wave optics but also lasers, holography, coherence, fibers and optical waveguides. It stresses physical principles, applications, and instrumentation, and will be most useful to undergraduates as a comprehensive introductory optics text. Graduate students, practicing engineers, and experimental scientists will also welcome it as an excellent review of the field.
