Introduction To Optics

by Frank L. Pedrotti, Leno S. Pedrotti

This is a comprehensive, applications-oriented introduction to geometrical optics, wave optics, and modern optics. Contains new chapters on laser beam characteristics and nonlinear optics; expanded coverage of fiber optics; new sections on ray tracing, thick lens, the Doppler effect, and evanescent waves; and valuable coverage of matrix treatment of polarization, Fraunhofer diffraction, Fourier optics, and more. An ideal introductory guide for the physics instructor, specifically those concentrating on optics.

Always revisited!

An acceptable introduction to optics heavily focused toward Ray Optics. I don't like it's style but its' the standard textbook on the subject and is good enough to start with.
