Optics has been part of scientific enquiry from its beginning and
remains a key element of modern science. This book provides a
concise treatment of physical optics starting with a brief summary
of geometrical optics. Scalar diffraction theory is introduced to
describe wave propagation and diffraction effects and provides the
basis for Fourier methods for treating more complex diffraction
problems. The rest of the book treats the physics underlying some
important instruments for spectral analysis and optical metrology,
reflection and transmission at dielectric surfaces and the
polarization of light. This undergraduate-level text aims to aid
understanding of optical applications in physical, engineering and
life sciences or more advanced topics in modern optics.
