There is no doubt about the reason. Coherent light, with its properties so different from the light we are surrounded by, lends itself to numerous applications in science, technology, and life. The bandwidth of coherent optics reaches from holography and interferometry, with its gravitational wave detectors, to the CD player for music, movies, and computers; from the laser scalpel, which allows surgical cutting in the interior of the eye without destruction of the layers penetrated in front of it, to optical information and data processing with its great impact on society. According to its importance, the foundations of coherent optics should be conveyed to students of natural sciences as early as possible to better prepare them for their future careers as physicists or engineers. The present book tries to serve this need: to promote the foundations of coherent optics. Special attention is paid to a thorough presentation of the fundamentals. This should enable the reader to follow the contemporary literature from a firm basis. The wealth of material, of course, makes necessary a restriction of the topics included. Therefore, from the main areas of optics, wave optics and the classical description oflight is given most ofthe space available. The book starts with a quick trip through the history of physics from the viewpoint of optics.

For example, this book helps me understand IIsuka's Engineering Optics. Review: 概観を知りたい方に是非 - 本書はコヒーレント光に関する事柄を広く浅く取り扱っており， 光を学ぼうとしている方が光学を概観するのに適しています． また，既に光について一通り学んでいる方でも広い光学の分野を 短い時間でざっと復習したい場合では使えると思います． ただし，あくまでも概観ですのでより深く知る必要がある場合は他書を 参考にする必要は必ず出てくると思います． ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 6,257 in Engineering Physics 12,397 in Electronics & Communications Engineering 180,708 in Scientific, Technical & Medical | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 4 Reviews | ## Images ![Coherent Optics: Fundamentals and Applications (Advanced Texts in Physics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kkJEl-icL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a good book because the authors explain complex topics in a ... *by E***R on 1 December 2014* This is a good book because the authors explain complex topics in a very understandable way.
