Introduction To Optics

The book introduces university undergraduates to the fascinating world of the science of light. Contemporary physics programmes are under increasing pressure to provide a balance between coverage of several traditional branches of physics and to expose students to emerging research areas. It is therefore important to provide an in depth

Presents a fully updated, self-contained textbook covering the core theory and practice of both classical and modern optical microscopy techniques.

A broad overview of theoretical physics and optics and engineering applications, first published in 1996.

This award-winning book has been translated from the original French by the author and thoroughly updated. It gives an introduction to modern optics at an advanced level, taking a unique approach inspired by Richard Feynman.

Introduction to Optics is now available in a re-issued edition from Cambridge University Press.
