This volume presents a review of the research in several areas of
modern optics written by experts well-known in the international
scientific community. The first chapter discusses properties and
methods of production and detection of coherent superpositions of
macroscopically distinguishable states of light (the so-called
Schrodinger cat states). Chapter two deals with the phase-shift
method, which originated in the 1930s, for the analysis of
potential-scattering problems in atomic and nuclear physics.
Recently this approach has been applied to wave propagation in
one-dimensional inhomogeneous media. Chapter three is concerned
with the statistical properties of dynamic laser speckles that
arise from scattering objects with rough surfaces undergoing
translation and rotation. A moving phase-screen model is employed,
which gives a relatively simple formulation of the theory and a
clear picture of the time-varying speckle phenomenon. The fourth
chapter presents a review of the more important theoretical and
experimental results relating to optics of multilayer systems with
randomly rough boundaries. The significant theoretical approaches
which make it possible to interpret experimental data involving
such systems are described, and relevant methods for optical
characterization of systems of this kind are outlined. The last
chapter presents an account of a theory of the photon transport
through turbid media.
