SynopsisIn this sequel to his book, The Optics of Rays, Wavefronts, and Caustics , Stavroudis not only covers his own research results, but also includes more recent developments. The book is divided into three parts, starting with basic mathematical concepts that are further applied in the book., Mathematische Grundlagen der Strahlen- und Wellenoptik diskutiert dieser 1/4bersichtlich in drei Teile gegliederte Band. Der erste Teil ist den im Buch angewendeten mathematischen Formalismen gewidmet. Im zweiten Teil wird die k-Funktion eingef 1/4hrt, Eikonal und maxwellsche Gleichungen werden gel st und diskutiert. Schlussfolgerungen und Anwendungen stellt der dritte Teil vor, zu dessen Themen unter anderem das kartesische Oval, das huygenssche Prinzip sowie das maxwellsche Modell der idealen gau Yschen Linse geh ren., In this sequel to his book, "The Optics of Rays, Wavefronts, and Caustics," Stavroudis not only covers his own research results, but also includes more recent developments. The book is divided into three parts, starting with basic mathematical concepts that are further applied in the book. Surface geometry is treated with classical mathematics, while the second part covers the kfunction, discussing and solving the eikonal equation as well as Maxwell equations in this context. A final part on applications consists of conclusions drawn or developed in the first two parts of the book, discussing such topics as the Cartesian oval, the modern Schiefspiegler, Huygen's principle, and Maxwell's model of Gauss' perfect lens., In this sequel to his book, "The Optics of Rays, Wavefronts, and Caustics," Stavroudis not only covers his own research results, but also includes more recent developments.
