Principles of Optics : 60th Anniversary Edition, Hardback Book

Principles of Optics : 60th Anniversary Edition Hardback

Hardback

Description

Principles of Optics is one of the most highly cited and most influential physics books ever published, and one of the classic science books of the twentieth century.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of this remarkable book's first publication, the seventh expanded edition has been reprinted with a special foreword by Sir Peter Knight.

The seventh edition was the first thorough revision and expansion of this definitive text.

Amongst the material introduced in the seventh edition is a section on CAT scans, a chapter on scattering from inhomogeneous media, including an account of the principles of diffraction tomography, an account of scattering from periodic potentials, and a section on the so-called Rayleigh-Sommerfield diffraction theory.

This expansive and timeless book continues to be invaluable to advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers working in all areas of optics.
