Publisher's Synopsis
Written for a graduate or undergraduate course in electro- optics, lasers or optics, this new text presents a complete and balanced treatment of the essentials of optics, optical processing, lasers, fibre optics, detection and electromagnetic theory. It takes a systems approach, starting from basic geometrical optics and progressing on to modern detectors and devices, simple diffraction phenomena, lasers, holography, signal processing and fibre optics.
