Principles of Optics

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. Among the new material is a section on the CAT scan (computed axial tomography), which has revolutionised medical diagnostics. The book also includes a new chapter on scattering from inhomogeneous media and presents an account of the principles of diffraction tomography to which Emil Wolf has made a basic contribution. Other new topics include interference with broad-band light, a section on the so-called Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction theory and several new appendices. The new edition of this standard reference will continue to be invaluable to advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers working in most areas of optics.
