Topics are addressed from a physics perspective and include the propagation of light in matter, reflection and transmission at boundaries, polarization effects,dispersion, coherence, ray optics and imaging, diffraction, and the quantum nature of light. Students using this book should be familiar with differentiation, integration, and standard trigonometric and algebraic manipulation.A brief review of complex numbers, vector calculus, and Fourier transforms is provided in Chapter 0, but it is helpful if students already have some experience with these concepts. Before moving on to chapter#1 where our study of optics begins, it would be good to look over this chapter to make sure you are comfortable with the mathematical tools we’ll be using. The vector calculus information in section 0.1 is used straight away in Chapter 1, so you should review it now. In Section 0.2 we review complex numbers. You have probably had some exposure to complex numbers, but if you are like many students, you haven’t yet fully appreciated their usefulness. Your life will be much easier if you understand the material in section 0.2 by heart.Complex notation is pervasive throughout the book, beginning in chapter 2. You may safely procrastinate reviewing Sections 0.3 and 0.4 until they come
up in the book. The linear algebra refresher in Section 0.3 is useful for Chapter 4,where we analyze multi layer coatings, and again in Chapter 6, where we discuss polarization. Section0.4provides an introduction to Fourier theory. Fourier transforms are used extensively in optics, and you should study Section 0.4 carefully before tackling Chapter 7. |EBOOK DOWNLOAD| |Pages 335| |Size 17.72MB| DOWNLOAD HERE
