Table of Contents1: Introduction 2: Reflection and refraction at plane surfaces 3: Spherical mirrors and lenses 4: Optical Instruments 5: Interference effects and interferometers 6: Diffraction 7: Fourier optics 8: Astronomical telescopes 9: Classical electromagnetic theory 10: Polarization 11: Scattering, absorption and dispersion 12: The quantum nature of light and matter 13: Quantum mechanics and the atom 14: Lasers 15: Detectors 16: Optical Fibres 17: Photonic crystals 18: Quantum interactions 19: The quantized electromagnetic field 20: Quantum dots, optical cavities and cryptographyReviewsReview from previous edition This book presents a thorough and self-contained introduction to modern optics, covering in full the three components of ray optics, wave optics and quantum optics. Digital cameras, LCD screens, aircraft laser gyroscopes and the optical-fibre-based internet illustrate the penetration of optics into 21st-century life. * CERN Courier * Review from previous edition The well designed illustrations, strongly linked to the discussion, the clear definition of terms and the easy to follow derivations of key equations make this an excellent choice for a graduate optics course. It is also an appropriate choice for advanced undergraduates. This highly recommended modern textbook can both explain the principles and applications of modern optics and stimulate creative minds. * Barry R. Masters, Optics and Photonics News * This will I am sure be found to be an invaluable textbook. * P.W. Hawkes, Ultramicroscopy * `This will I am sure be found to be an invaluable textbook.' P.W.
