Features: This book is a national-level planning textbook for the "11th Five-Year Plan" of general higher education. Starting from Maxwell's theory of alternating electromagnetic fields, the book analyzes and discusses the transmission characteristics of light in isotropic and anisotropic media. It focuses on the establishment process and results of physical models for important optical phenomena, emphasizing physical concepts and their mathematical expressions, and introduces the latest achievements in the field of optics. The book is divided into three parts: Physical Optics, Modern Optics, and Geometrical Optics. The selection and organization progress from easy to difficult, from known to unknown, and from near to far, with rich and typical application examples. This book can be used as a textbook or reference book for undergraduate and graduate students in physics electronics, optoelectronics, optics, and optical instruments, as well as for professionals in related fields.
