Statistical Optics, Joseph W. Goodman
"The latest book by Professor Goodman...is the best all–around book on classical statistical optics...it is likely to become the standard reference for workers in the field." Optical Engineering
"The text is clearly and interestingly written.... Statistical Optics will be welcome as a guide to the parts of statistics needed in optics..." Nature
"This long–awaited book by J. W. Goodman may eventually have as strategic an impact on the field of modern optics as did his first book, Introduction to Fourier Optics, published in 1986. [Statistical Optics] should be included in anyone′s library of key books in modern optics." IEEE Journal of Quantum Mechanics
"[Statistical Optics] is likely to remain a standard reference in this area for quite some time to come." Physics Today
"I strongly recommend this book both as a text for advanced students in optics and as a preliminary research volume for anyone interested in understanding the fluctuations in light." Journal of Statistical Physics
"[Statistical Optics is] essential bookshelf material for anyone who takes applied optics seriously." &mdsh;Foundations of Physics
From the Inside Flap
While optical techniques and instrumentation have achieved unparalleled sophistication, most advanced problems in optics require the introduction of statistical considerations for their solution. Statistical Optics is a comprehensive treatment of optics problems whose solutions lie beyond the power of deterministic analysis. No other book covers so broad a range of practical and theoretical problems of this type. Early chapters treat random variables, random processes, and some first–order properties of light waves. The chapters that follow present a unified treatment of several related problems such as the theory of partial coherence, imaging with partially coherent light, atmospheric degradations of images, and fundamental noise limitations in the detection of light. Statistical Optics includes many homework problems suitable for the classroom or for self–study. It can be used by optical and electrical engineers and physicists who want to master the statistical methods necessary for treating many problems in optics. In addition, students of these disciplines will find this an invaluable guide in their study of the subject.

There is a hint of foxing on the top fore-edge near the head of the spine. First Edition / First Printing. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1. This copy is smyth sewn. Smyth sewing is a method of book binding where groups of folded pages (referred to as signatures) are stitched together using binder thread. Each folded signature is sewn together individually with multiple stitches and then joined with other signatures to create the complete book block. This is the traditional and best method of bookbinding. Seller Inventory # 084025
