s*AENDERUNG TITEL This introduction to engineering and applied optics
includes not only elementary ray and wave optics but also lasers,
holography, coherence, fibers and optical waveguides. It stresses
physical principles, applications, and instrumentation, and will be most
useful to undergraduates as a comprehensive introductory optics text.
Graduate students, practicing engineers, and experimental scientists
will also welcome it as an excellent review of the field.
