Different analytical techniques are introduced and compared and introductions to the use of polarized light in various forms of...
$Principles of Optics: Electromagnetic Theory of Propagation, Interference and Diffraction of Light (7th Edition)$	Principles of Optics: Electromagnetic Theory of Propagation, Interference and Diffraction of Light (7th Edition) by Max Born (Author), Emil Wolf (Author) Principles of Optics is one of the classic science books of the twentieth century, and probably the most influential book in optics published in the past forty years. This edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, with new material covering the CAT scan, interference with broad-band light and the so-called Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction theory. This edition also details scattering from inhomogeneous media and presents an account of the principles of diffraction tomography to which Emil...
	Introduction to Matrix Methods in Optics by A. Gerrard (Author), J. M. Burch (Author) Clear, accessible guide requires little prior knowledge and considers just two topics: paraxial imaging and polarization. Lucid discussions of paraxial imaging properties of a centered optical system, optical resonators and laser beam propagation, matrices in polarization optics and propagation of light through crystals, much more. 60 illustrations. Appendixes. Bibliography.
	A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations by Daniel Fleisch (Author) Gauss's law for electric fields, Gauss's law for magnetic fields, Faraday's law, and the Ampere-Maxwell law are four of the most influential equations in science. In this guide for students, each equation is the subject of an entire chapter, with detailed, plain-language explanations of the physical meaning of each symbol in the equation, for both the integral and differential forms. The final chapter shows how Maxwell's equations may be combined to produce the wave equation, the basis for the...
	Field Guide to Polarization (SPIE Vol. FG05) by Edward Collett (Author) The polarization of light is one of the most remarkable phenomena in nature and has led to numerous discoveries and applications. The nature and mathematical formulation of unpolarized light and partially polarized light were not readily forthcoming until the 1950s, when questions about polarized light and the mathematical tools to deal with it began to be addressed in earnest. As a result, there is a very good understanding of polarized light today. The primary objective of this Guide is to...
