内容简介
《光学(第4版)(影印版)》是西方大学最流行的基础光学教材之一，从写作内容到编排顺序都与国内基础光学教材较接近，比较符合国内基础光学的教学习惯，是一本非常合适的基础光学的双语教材。不仅系统地介绍了光学知识，还为读者提供了许多光学发展背景，如第一章光学史内容丰富、精彩，不可多得。
包括传统光学教材的内容(如几何光学、干涉、衍射、偏振等)，还增加了许多新内容，以体现近代光学的发展。
每部分最后都安排了非常全面的小结，利于读者在一阶段的学习之后，查漏补缺，巩固已学的知识。
将理论系统介绍与这些理论对于自然现象的解释和在工程实际应用进行了有机的结合。使读者不仅掌握了基础知识，还见识到了这些理论如何解释日常生活中的一些自然现象；最重要的是学到了如何将基础知识运用到工程技术中去的科学思路。
