Principles of Optics is one of the classic science books of the twentieth century & probably the most influential book in optics published in the past 40 years The new edition is the first ever thoroughly revised & expanded edition of this standard text Among the new material much of which is not available in any other optics text is a section on the CAT scan (computerized axial tomography) which has revolutionized medical diagnostics The book also

Includes:: a new chapter on scattering from inhomogeneous media which provides a comprehensive treatment of the theory of scattering of scalar as well as of electromagnetic waves including the Born series & the Rytov series The chapter also presents an account of the principles of diffraction tomography
- a refinement of the CAT scan
- to which Emil Wolf one of the authors has made a basic contribution by formulating in 1969 what is generally regarded to be the basic theorem in this field The chapter also

Includes:: an account of scattering from periodic potentials & its connection to the classic subject of determining the structure of crystals from X-ray diffraction experiments including accounts of von Laue equations Bragg's law the Ewald sphere of reflection & the Ewald limiting sphere both generalized to continuous media These topics although originally introduced in connection with the theory of X-ray diffraction by crystals have since become of considerable relevance to optics for example in connection with deep holograms Other new topics covered in this new edition include interference with broad-band light which introduces the reader to an important phenomenon discovered relatively recently by Emil Wolf namely the generation of shifts of spectral lines & other modifications of spectra of radiated fields due to the state of coherence of a source There is also a section on the so-called Rayleigh-Sommerfield diffraction theory which in recent times has been finding increasing popularity among optical scientists There are also several new appendices including one on energy conservation in scalar wavefields which is seldom discussed in books on optics The new edition of this standard reference will continue to be invaluable to advanced undergraduates graduate students & researchers working in most areas of optics
