This third volume of the series Lectures in Optics provides a
comprehensive presentation of the wave optics effects. The
arguments underlying the concept of light—as either a wave or a
particle—were part of the greatest revolution in physics, which,
in the early 20th century, bore modern quantum and atomic optics.
These fundamental advances set the stage for a crucial outcome, the
laser. Many aspects of optics are strongly dependent on light’s
wave nature, including polarization (owing to the vector nature of
light), absorption and dispersion (owing to the complex nature of
the refractive index and the quantum nature of the photon), as well
as interference and diffraction. The latter two effects are perhaps
the greatest manifestations of the wave nature of light and provide
an excellent demonstration of the power and simplicity of Fourier
optics. After covering all of these effects in detail, Wave Optics
introduces the concepts involved in laser light and its
applications, engaging a historical and didactic approach. This
book is suitable for advanced levels of Wave Optics courses in
physics and engineering curricula, graduate programs, and
professional programs, including optometric education. Each chapter
ends with a simple yet adequate summary of the main points, aiming
to reinforce an understanding of the covered material.
Selfassessment is facilitated by ample practice examples,
exercises, and quizzes.
