Reviews
'Today, the word 'optics' has been generalized to include all methods that understand, and exploit our understanding of, electromagnetic radiation, from radio waves to X-rays and gamma rays. Since the 1st edition published in 1959, one year before the advent of the laser, Principles of Optics stands out as the most influential, mathematically rigorous, and frequently cited treatment of classical optics. It spans topics as diverse as the geometric theory of aberrations to the rigorous treatment of diffraction theory and has served as the foundational reference work for many practitioners of optics, from physicists to optical to microwave engineers. As a University of Rochester undergraduate alumnus who was privileged to take Emil Wolf's electricity and magnetism course, I am especially delighted to see the 60th celebration of the 1st edition and the 20th anniversary of the 7th edition of this masterpiece.' Steven Chu, Stanford University, Nobel Prize in Physics 1997

Edition Description
Revised edition
Synopsis
Principles of Optics is one of the most highly cited and most influential physics books ever published, and one of the classic science books of the twentieth century. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of this remarkable book's first publication, the seventh expanded edition has been reprinted with a special foreword by Sir Peter Knight. The seventh edition was the first thorough revision and expansion of this definitive text. Amongst the material introduced in the seventh edition is a section on CAT scans, a chapter on scattering from inhomogeneous media, including an account of the principles of diffraction tomography, an account of scattering from periodic potentials, and a section on the so-called Rayleigh-Sommerfield diffraction theory. This expansive and timeless book continues to be invaluable to advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers working in all areas of optics., Principles of Optics is one of the classic science books of the twentieth century, and among the most influential books in optics ever published. To celebrate its 60th anniversary, the seventh expanded edition has been reprinted with a special foreword by Sir Peter Knight.
