Leonard Mandel, Emil Wolf

Optical Coherence and Quantum Optics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a systematic account of optical coherence theory within the framework of classical optics, as applied to such topics as radiation from sources of different states of coherence, foundations of radiometry, effects of source coherence on the spectra of radiated fields, coherence theory of laser modes, and scattering of partially coherent light by random media.
