In the thirty-seven years that have gone by since the first volume
of Progress in Optics was published, optics has become one of the
most dynamic fields of science. At the time of inception of this
series, the first lasers were only just becoming operational,
holography was in its infancy, subjects such as fiber optics,
integrated optics and optoelectronics did not exist and quantum
optics was the domain of only a few physicists. The term photonics
had not yet been coined. Today these fields are flourishing and
have become areas of specialisation for many science and
engineering students and numerous research workers and engineers
throughout the world. Some of the advances in these fields have
been recognized by awarding Nobel prizes to seven physicists in the
last twenty years. The volumes in this series which have appeared
up to now contain nearly 190 review articles by distinguished
research workers, which have become permanent records for many
important developments. They have helped optical scientists and
optical engineers to stay abreast of their fields. There is no sign
that developments in optics are slowing down or becoming less
interesting.
