Features: This book is based on the electromagnetic theory of light and focuses on physical optics and applied optics. Chapters 1 to 4 discuss the propagation of light in isotropic and anisotropic media, as well as the interference, diffraction, and polarization properties of light. It highlights the application and progress of optical principles in optoelectronics, strengthens the content on the coherence of light, and introduces the fundamentals of Fourier optics, near-field optics, and micro-optics. Chapter 5 introduces birefringence, which is widely used in optoelectronics. Chapter 6 covers the absorption, dispersion, and scattering phenomena of light. Chapters 7 to 9 present the fundamentals of geometric optics and the propagation and imaging characteristics of light in optical instruments. This book can serve as a professional foundational textbook for undergraduate students in optoelectronics, electronic science and technology, and optical engineering. It can also be used as a reference for faculty, students, and researchers in related fields.
