Introduction to Matrix Methods in Optics (Dover Books on Physics)
by Anthony Gerrard, James M. Burch
Category: Science

Clear, accessible guide requires little prior knowledge and considers just two topics: paraxial imaging and polarization. Lucid discussions of paraxial imaging properties of a centered optical system, optical resonators and laser beam propagation, matrices in polarization optics and propagation of light through crystals, much more. 60 illustrations. Appendixes. Bibliography.
