Diese Einfuhrung stellt die Konzepte der klassischen Optik fur Physiker, andere Naturwissenschaftler und Ingenieure vor. Sie behandelt die Eigenschaften von Laser-Lichtquellen im Detail und schreitet bis zu optischen Detektoren und der nichtlinearen Optik voran. Ebenso beleuchtet wird die Verknupfung traditioneller Themen mit ausgewahlten Fallen moderner Forschungsarbeiten, um Begeisterung fur neuere wissenschaftliche und technische Herausforderungen der Optik zu wecken.
