Optics and Lasers is an introduction to engineering and
applied optics, including not only elementary ray and wave
optics, but also lasers, holography, copherence, fibers, and
optical waveguides. It stresses physicalprinciples,
applications, and instrumentation. It will be most usefull
to the practicing engineer or experimental scientist,
graduate student, or advanced undergraduate. It contains
more than enough material from which to selelct the core of
an introctory optics course and sufficientto form the bulk
of a more advanced course.
