THEORETICAL OPTICS: AN INTRODUCTION By Hartmann Römer - Hardcover.

About this product

Product Information

Starting from basic electrodynamics. this volume Provides a solid, yet concise introduction to theoretical optic,s containing topics such as nonlinear optics, light-matter interaction, and modern topics in quantum optics, including entanglement, cryptography, and quantum computation. The author, with many years of experience in teaching and research, goes way beyond the scope of traditional lectures, enabling readers to keep up with the current state of knowledge. Both content and presentation make it essential reading for graduate and hD students as well as a Valuable reference for researchers. From the contents: Crystal optics Nonlinear optics Geometrical optics Diffraction theory Holography Coherence theory Interaction of Radiation and Matter Quantum Optics and Fundamental Quantum Theory
