A Textbook of Optics

This book introduces the fundamental concepts of optics used and required to study and perform at various stages. It is intended to serve as a textbook of basic optics along with applied physics contents for all undergraduate students. The text stimulates the readers’ general interest in optics as well as helps them with an essential background in acoustic-optics and electro-optics. The book is geared towards a senior or first-year graduate level audience in engineering and physics. It may also be useful for researchers and engineers who wish to learn about the basics of physics with knowledge about beam propagation, acoustic and electro-optics.
