TY - GEN AU - Mandel, Leonard AU - Wolf, Emil TI - Optical coherence and quantum optics [Perpetual access] SN - 9781139644105 U1 - 535.2 PY - 1995/// CY - Cambridge PB - Cambridge University Press KW - Quantum optics KW - Coherence (Optics) N2 - 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. The book starts with a full mathematical introduction to the subject area and each chapter concludes with a set of exercises. The authors are renowned scientists and have made substantial contributions to many of the topics treated in the book. Much of the book is based on courses given by them at universities, scientific meetings and laboratories throughout the world. This book will undoubtedly become an indispensable aid to scientists and engineers concerned with modern optics, as well as to teachers and graduate students of physics and engineering UR - https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/optical-coherence-and-quantum-optics/F8CB94C70FA64CD3FB60890CA2048168 ER -
