All optical fields undergo random fluctuations. They may be small, as in the output of many lasers, or they may be appreciably larger, as in light generated by

This book presents a systematic account of optical coherence theory within the framework of classical optics, as applied to such topics as radiation from source

"In this thesis, coherence and polarization properties of stochastic optical fields are investigated. The so-called cross-spectral density matrices of polarized

A complete basic undergraduate course in modern optics for students in physics, technology, and engineering. The first half deals with classical physical optics
