An intuitive and accessible approach to the fundamentals of physical optics
In the newly revised Second Edition of Principles of Physical Optics, eminent researcher Dr. Charles A. Bennet delivers an intuitive and practical text designed for a one-semester, introductory course in optics. The book helps readers build a firm foundation in physical optics and gain valuable, practical experience with a range of mathematical applications, including matrix methods, Fourier analysis, and complex algebra.
This latest edition is thoroughly updated and offers 20% more worked examples and 50% more homework problems than the First Edition.
Only knowledge of standard introductory sequences in calculus and calculus-based physics is assumed, with the included mathematics limited to what is necessary to adequately address the subject matter. The book provides additional materials on optical imaging and nonlinear optics and dispersion for use in an accelerated course. It also offers:
- A thorough introduction to the physics of waves, including the one-dimensional wave equation and transverse traveling waves on a string
- Comprehensive explorations of electromagnetic waves and photons, including introductory material on electromagnetism and electromagnetic wave equations
- Practical discussions of reflection and refraction, including Maxwell’s equations at an interface and the Fresnel equations
- In-depth examinations of geometric optics, as well as superposition, interference, and diffraction
Perfect for advanced undergraduate students of physics, chemistry, and materials science, Principles of Physical Optics also belongs on the bookshelves of engineering students seeking a one-stop introduction to physical optics.

直觀且易於理解的物理光學基礎方法
在新修訂的第二版《物理光學原理》中，著名研究者查爾斯·A·班尼特博士提供了一本直觀且實用的教材，旨在用於一學期的光學入門課程。這本書幫助讀者建立堅實的物理光學基礎，並獲得有價值的實踐經驗，涵蓋一系列數學應用，包括矩陣方法、傅立葉分析和複數代數。
這一最新版本經過全面更新，提供了比第一版多20%的範例和50%的作業題目。
本書假設讀者僅具備標準的微積分和基於微積分的物理入門知識，所包含的數學內容僅限於足以充分處理主題所需的部分。書中還提供了有關光學成像、非線性光學和色散的附加材料，以便用於加速課程。它還提供了：
- 對波的物理學的徹底介紹，包括一維波方程和弦上的橫向行波
- 對電磁波和光子的全面探討，包括電磁學和電磁波方程的入門材料
- 對反射和折射的實用討論，包括界面上的麥克斯韋方程和菲涅耳方程
- 對幾何光學的深入研究，以及疊加、干涉和衍射
《物理光學原理》非常適合物理、化學和材料科學的高年級本科生，同時也是尋求物理光學一站式入門的工程學生書架上的必備書籍。
