HIGNRm q^*6C[G B A complete basic undergraduate-level course in modern optics for students in physics, technology and engineering. The first half deals with classical physical optics; the second, the quantum nature of light. Many applications of the laser to optics are integrated throughout the text. Problems and answers. 170 illustrations.

JKy#j g:# Us-A+)r*! his is an easy 5 star. For those who gave it less, please think again:
*b"CPg/\ 1) Title says: introduction. So don’t imagine it covers every equation there is. Get Wolf’s book if you like equations that much.
?'sXgo.} 2) Short but concise on
key subjects. To do that, you have to skip a lot of intro/background or equations, that’s why there are references and citations (and better bricks/bug killers).
2xn<E>] 3) This is an intro book but also serves well as a refresher. This is intermediate level to advanced level for non-physicists, as it assumes good understanding of calculus.
JUQg 'D ]*;F. pZ To be fair, the book is not without flaws. One obvious is the name implied recent advances (although different people use modern optics differently), while the book was last revised in 1975. Nonetheless, the key component of modern optics are mostly there, unless you are into cutting edge advances. It might be more appropriate to name it as “intro to physical optics”, then again the author added a section of ray optics at the end of the book…

OJ/SYZ.r If you’re studying optics in a college class using Hecht’s classic text, or if you are an engineer who needs an overview of the subject, this is a good practical and economical introduction to the subject. However, be aware that this book is short on two components - details of derivations of mathematical formulas and illustrations. That is not to say they do not exist, it is just to say that at several points during the book I could have been aided in my comprehension by either an illustration or derivation that simply wasn’t there.
J?%}=_fsa 7tgFDLA There are end of chapter exercises included, and there are solutions to selected odd problems in the back of the book. However, there are no details as to how those solutions were arrived at. If you are an engineer, the only way to really be sure that you understand a subject is to solve problems. Thus I suggest Schaum’s Outline of Optics by Hecht for that task. Often the solutions to problems in that outline are the mathematical details that are missing in this book!
