Linear Ray and Wave Optics in Phase Space

Bridging Ray and Wave Optics via the Wigner Phase-Space Picture

by Amalia Torre
Language: English
Release Date: November 11, 2005

Ray, wave and quantum concepts are central to diverse and seemingly incompatible models of light. Each model particularizes a specific ''manifestation'' of light, and then corresponds to adequate physical assumptions and formal approximations, whose domains of applicability are well-established. Accordingly...
Cover of Quantum Optics for Experimentalists
by Zheyu Jeff Ou
Language: English
Release Date: May 30, 2017

This book on quantum optics is from the point of view of an experimentalist.
