Wave Optics: Basic Concepts and Contemporary Trends

by Subhasish Dutta Gupta, Ayan Banerjee, Nirmalya Ghosh

This book combines classical optics with some of the latest developments in the field to provide an appreciation and understanding of advanced research topics. Requiring only a basic knowledge of electromagnetic theory and mathematics, the text covers the fundamentals of wave optics, focusing on concepts related to advances in negative materials and superresolution, reflectionless potentials, plasmonics, spin-orbit interaction, optical tweezers, Pendry lensing, and more. The book includes MATLAB codes for specific research problems and draws parallels with corresponding quantum problems whenever possible to broaden the horizon.
