This textbook on optics provides an introduction to key concepts of
wave optics and light propagation. It uniquely makes extensive use
of Fourier methods and the angular-spectrum approach, especially to
provide a unified approach to Fraunhofer and Fresnel diffraction. A
recurring theme is that simple building blocks such as plane and
spherical waves can be summed to construct useful solutions. The
text pays particular attention to analysing topics in contemporary
optics such as propagation, dispersion, laser beams and wave
guides, apodisation, tightly-focused vector fields, unconventional
polarization states, and light-matter interactions. Throughout the
text, the principles are applied through worked examples, and the
book is copiously illustrated with more than 240 figures. The 200
end-of-chapter exercises offer further opportunities for testing
the reader's understanding.
