N2  - 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
