About this title

Review

'The material is presented in a logical sequence of gradually increasing complexity ... there are two sets of problems given at the end of each chapter, the first of which ('homework problems') should be soluble from a reading of the text alone, whilst the second set ('research problems') requires the student to obtain and independently read original papers describing material not discussed in the book. This book should therefore provide an excellent graduate-level introduction to the principles and applications of optics in modern-day engineering practice.' M. J. Adams, The Aeronautical Journal

Book Description

This 1996 book provides the background in theoretical physics and optics needed by engineers. Relevant theories are tied to a wide range of engineering applications. Advanced topics such as laser Doppler velocimetry, laser-induced fluorescence, and holography are clearly and thoroughly explained.
