Wave Optics: Basic Concepts and Contemporary Trends

Wave Optics: Basic Concepts and Contemporary Trends combines classical optics with some of the latest developments in the field to provide readers with an appreciation and understanding of advanced research topics. Requiring only a basic knowledge of electromagnetic theory and mathematics, this book:

 
•  
•  
•  
• Covers the fundamentals of wave optics, such as oscillations, scalar and vector waves, reflection and refraction, polarization, interference and diffraction, and rays and beams






 
•  
•  
•  
• Focuses on concepts related to advances in negative materials and superresolution, reflectionless potentials, plasmonics, spin-orbit interaction, optical tweezers, Pendry lensing, and more






 
•  
•  
•  
• Includes MATLAB^(R) codes for specific research problems, offering readers a behind-the-scenes look at the computational practices as well as an opportunity to extend the research

Drawing parallels with corresponding quantum problems whenever possible to broaden the horizon and outlook, Wave Optics: Basic Concepts and Contemporary Trends gives readers a taste of what is happening in modern optics today and shows why wave optics remains one of the most interesting and challenging areas of physics.

《波動光學：基本概念與當代趨勢》結合了經典光學與該領域最新發展，讓讀者對先進研究主題有所認識和理解。本書只需要基本的電磁理論和數學知識，即可閱讀。本書包括以下內容：

- 講解波動光學的基礎知識，如振動、純量和向量波、反射和折射、偏振、干涉和繞射、光線和光束等。
- 聚焦於與負材料和超解析度、無反射潛能、等離子體學、自旋-軌道相互作用、光鉗、Pendry透鏡等相關的概念。
- 提供特定研究問題的MATLAB代碼，讓讀者深入了解計算實踐，並有機會擴展研究。

本書還通過與相應的量子問題進行類比，拓寬了視野，展示了為什麼波動光學仍然是物理學中最有趣和具有挑戰性的領域。
