![]() It contains step by step derivations of all basic formulas in geometrical and wave optics. The text covers all the standard topics of a traditional optics course, including: geometrical optics and aberration, interference and diffraction, coherence, Maxwell’s equations, wave guides and propagating modes, blackbody radiation, atomic emission and lasers, optical properties of materials, Fourier transforms and FT spectroscopy, image formation, and holography. The applications provide a simulated laboratory where students can learn by exploration and discovery instead of passive absorption. While the book is suited well for self learning, it was written over several years for a one semester course in optics for juniors and seniors in science and engineering. The applications, given at the end of files to suggest different points of view on the subject, are extended to home work problems and are also on the CD of the Second Edition. In the Second Edition, Matlab, Mathematica and Maples files have been added to the Mathcad files on the CD of the First Edition. Preface The book is for readers who want to use model computational files for fast learning of the basics of optics. ![]() To colleagues, staff, and students of the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey The use in this publication of trade names, trademarks, service marks, and similar terms, even if they are not identified as such, is not to be taken as an expression of opinion as to whether or not they are subject to proprietary rights.
