By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: Boca Raton : CRC Press, c2014.Description: xviii, 370 p. : illustrations ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9781482210941 (hardcover : alk. paper)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 535.32 23 G476
Contents:
1. Electromagnetic fields and origin of light -- 2. Electromagnetic waves in linear media -- 3. Light propagation in anisotropic crystals -- 4. Wave propagation across the interface of two homogeneous media -- 5. Light propagation in a dielectric waveguide -- 6. Paraxial propagation of gaussian beams -- 7. Scalar and vector diffraction theories -- 8. Calculations for plane waves incident upon various apertures -- 9. Vector diffraction across a curved interface -- 10. Diffraction of gaussian beams -- 11. Trapping cold atoms with laser light-- A. Complex Phase Notation, Engineer's vs. Physicist's-- Index.
Summary: The main aim of this book is to describe light propagation in linear media by expanding on diffraction theories an little beyond what is available in the optics books. This book can possibly be used as a technical reference book by professional scientists and engineers interested in light propagation and as supplemental text for upper level undergraduate or graduate courses in optics.
