Designed for a nonmathematical undergraduate optics course addressed to art majors, this four-part treatment discusses the nature and manipulation of light, vision, and color. Questions at the end of each chapter help test comprehension of material, which is almost completely presented in a nonmathematical manner. 170 black-and-white illustrations. 1983 edition. Revised republication of the work published by Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1983.
Treatise on Physiological Optics, Volume II by Hermann von Helmholtz Three-volume classic, first published in 1924, consists of Helmholtz's original data, plus supplementary matter. Volume II examines the sensations of vision.
Introduction to Statistical Optics by Edward L. O’Neill Authoritative introduction covers Green's function in mathematical physics, essential differences between spatial and time filters, fundamental relations of paraxial optics, and effects of aberration terms on image formation. 1963 edition.
Laser Light Scattering: Basic Principles and Practice. Second Edition by Benjamin Chu Geared toward upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, this text introduces the interdisciplinary area of laser light scattering, focusing chiefly on theoretical concepts of quasielastic laser scattering. 1991 edition.
Dynamic Light Scattering: With Applications to Chemistry, Biology, and Physics by Bruce J. Berne, Robert Pecora This comprehensive introduction to principles underlying laser light scattering focuses on time dependence of fluctuations in fluid systems; also serves as introduction to theory of time correlation functions. 1976 edition.
Laser Light Scattering by Charles S. Johnson, Jr., Don A. Gabriel Concise, accessible treatment focuses on two main topics: classical light scattering and dynamic light scattering. Indispensable for physicists, chemists, other workers in the field. 1981 edition.
