Description
Book SynopsisDeals with photonics in free space and special media such as anisotropic crystals. Covers all important topics from Fourier optics, such as the properties of lenses, optical image processing, and holography to the Gaussian beam, light propagation in anisotropic media, external field effects, polarization of light and its major applications.
Trade Review"...well organized...collects all the necessary information needed to learn wave- and Fourier optics as well as fiber communication without paging through many references or basic publications."
