Principles of optics : electromagnetic theory of propagation, interference and diffraction of light

Author:	Max Born; Emil Wolf; et al
Publisher:	Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 1999.
Edition/Format:	Book : English : 7th expanded edView all editions and formats
Summary:	This classic text presents optics deductively as a system based on Maxwell's equations. It deals with those optical phenomena that can be described with the help of a continuous distribution of matter, and provides an overview of optics as a whole.
