(Ebook) Classical Optics and its Applications by Masud Mansuripur ISBN 9780521881692, 0521881692

A first year graduate text on electromagnetic field theory emphasizing mathematical approaches, problem solving and physical interpretation. Examples deal with guidance propagation, radiation, and scattering of electromagnetic waves; metallic and dielectric wave guides, resonators, antennas and radiating structures, Cerenkov radiation, moving media, plasmas, crystals, integrated optics, lasers and fibers, remote sensing, geophysical probing, dipole antennas and stratified media This text covers topics in classical optics in the form of self contained chapters. The first half of the book deals with basic concepts of optics, and the second describes how these concepts can be used in a variety of technological applications. Preface; Introduction; 1.
