"This engagingly written text provides a useful pedagogical
introduction to an extensive class of geometrical phenomena in the
optics of polarization and phase, including simple explanations of
much of the underlying mathematics." -Michael Berry, University of
Bristol, UK "The author covers a vast number of topics in great
detail, with a unifying mathematical treatment. It will be a useful
reference for both beginners and experts...." -Enrique Galvez,
Charles A. Dana Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Colgate
University "a firm and comprehensive grounding both for those
looking to acquaint themselves with the field and those of us that
need reminding of the things we thought we knew, but hitherto did
not understand: an essential point of reference." -Miles Padgett,
Kelvin Chair of Natural Philosophy and Vice Principal (Research),
University of Glasgow This book focuses on the various forms of
wavefield singularities, including optical vortices and
polarization singularities, as well as orbital angular momentum and
associated applications. It highlights how an understanding of
singular optics provides a completely different way to look at
light. Whereas traditional optics focuses on the shape and
structure of the non-zero portions of the wavefield, singular
optics describes a wave's properties from its null regions. The
contents cover the three main areas of the field: the study of
generic features of wavefields, determination of unusual properties
of vortices and wavefields that contain singularities, and
practical applications of vortices and other singularities.
