Descrizione del libro

Principles of Optics is one of the classic science books of the twentieth century. This standard reference continues to be invaluable to advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers working in any area of optics. The book presents optics deductively as a system based on Maxwell's equations and provides a complete picture of our knowledge of optics as a whole
