Optics and Light: Principles and Practices (Volume II)
Optics is the branch of physics that studies light and its interactions with matter. It comprises the behavior and properties of light, including reflection, refraction, dispersion, diffraction, and polarization. Optics also explores the phenomena of wave and particle nature of light, described by wave optics and quantum optics, respectively. Practical applications of optics are vast, including the design and functioning of lenses, microscopes, telescopes, and fiber optic communication systems. Technological advancements in optics have revolutionized various fields such as medical imaging, telecommunications, and information technology. By understanding the principles of light, optics enables the development of cutting-edge devices and innovations that enhance visual experiences and facilitate the transmission of information over long distances. This field continues to evolve, contributing to both fundamental science and practical technologies that shape our everyday lives. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and the applications of optics and light. This book presents the complex subject of optics in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
