Providing a picture of modern physical optics as an expert would see it, this clear exposition of the most useful ideas of optics will be accessible to undergraduate students. This textbook covers both classical and modern optics and is based on a course offered by Moscow State University in recent years - the main objective of which was to provide a comprehensive presentation of the fundamentals of the subject. Containing a much higher proportion of topical material than conventional textbooks the contents include electromagnetic theory of light, optical radiation physics and the physics of interaction of radiation with matter. Among the contemporary topics discussed most comprehensively are lasers, nonlinear optics, and new methods of optical spectroscopy.

CHOICE Review

Akhmanov and Nikitin provide a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the fundamentals of physical optics. They draw extensively on the concepts of classical and quantum radiation theories, nonlinear physics, statistics, and Fourier transformations, and they present traditional materials such as the electromagnetic theory of light, optical radiation, interference, diffraction, coherence of light, and interaction of radiation with matter. A great deal of attention is also devoted to lasers, nonlinear optics, and novel methods of optical spectroscopy, as well as analysis, transformation, and synthesis of optical fields. Within each of the 23 chapters, theoretical materials are supported by experimental results to emphasize their validity. A background in physics is assumed of the reader. The topics are well organized, and discussions are very clear and complete. References are few; only the most relevant are listed. Graduate students; faculty. O. Eknoyan; Texas A&M University
