An intermediate course in optics, this volume explores both experimental and theoretical concepts, offering a practical knowledge of geometrical optics. Its exposition of the concepts of classical optics is presented with a minimum of mathematical detail, and illustrative problems appear throughout the text. 415 figures. 17 tables. 1958 edition.
Optics: The Science of Vision by Vasco Ronchi Unorthodox view of optics by world-renowned scientist covers 17th-century optics, optical systems, acuity of vision, optical image, elements of wave motion, much more. Translated by Edward Rosen. 106 black-and-white illustrations.
Treatise on Physiological Optics, Volume I by Hermann von Helmholtz Classic three-part work remains peerless in terms of its thoroughness, soundness, and comprehensiveness. Volume I begins with an anatomical description of the eye, physiological optics, and the dioptrics of the eye.
Elementary Wave Optics by Robert H. Webb This undergraduate textbook presents thorough coverage of the standard topics of classical optics and optical instrument design; it also offers significant details regarding the concepts of modern optics. 1969 edition.
The Theory of Optics by Paul Drude One of the finest fundamental texts in physical optics, this classic study is peerless in its coverage, comprising a full treatment of the application of thermodynamics to optics. 1902 edition. Index. 110 illustrations.
Introduction to Modern Optics by Grant R. Fowles A complete basic undergraduate course in modern optics for students in physics, technology and engineering. The first half deals with classical physical optics; the second, quantum nature of light. Solutions.
