Optical waves in crystal propagation and control of laser radiation
As a text for a course in electro-optics for electrical engineering and applied physics students, it presents the propagation of laser radiation in various optical media and instructs in the analysis and design of electro-optical devices. The content of the book presupposes an introduction to Maxwell's equations in an intermediate course in electricity and magnetism as well as some mathematical background in Fourier integrals, matrix algebra, and differential equations. Contents, abridged: Electromagnetic fields. Propagation of laser beams. Jones calculus and its application to birefringent optical systems. Electromagnetic propagation in periodic media. Electro-optic devices. Acousto-optics. Indexes.
