| | 1. |  | Introduction to Modern Optics
from Dover Publications
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
This is an easy 5 star. For those who gave it less, please think again:
1) Title says: introduction. So don't imagine it covers every equation there is. Get Wolf's book if you like equations that much.
2) Short but concise on key subjects. To do that, you have to skip a lot of... more info

| | 4. |  | Schaum's Outline of Optics
from McGraw-Hill
Price: $17.05
Customer Review:
This schaum's outline is too old for this topic (same thing for Optics by Eugene Hecht ISBN: 0805385665). It is time for someone to write a new one even if physics has not changed! (I guess what you pay is what you get!)
Pro: good summary for something you know
con: not much detail like... more info

| | 6. |  | Introduction to Fourier Optics
from Roberts & Company Publishers
Price: $78.80
Customer Review:
I took a class in Fourier Optics and found this text to be indispensable. It explains everything very clearly and concisely, which is a minor miracle for a text at this level. I didn't have any particular background in optics, and was able to pick this up and understand every word.
I do agree... more info

| | 9. |  | Quantum Optics
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $81.00
Customer Review:
Compared to Wolf and Mandel's tome "Optical Coherence and Quantum Optics", this book gives the reader a lighter job on math without him reading over 100 pages on probability theory and fourier transform. However, this book has two major drawbacks:
1. The author keeps refering to later chapters... more info

| | 10. |  | Introduction to Optics (3rd Edition)
from Benjamin Cummings
Price: $106.24
Customer Review:
I used this book in an optics course, and I'd say that it was an okay book, not really something special.
Pros:
-Many nice illustrations
-It describes many aspects of modern optics
Cons:
-At times really confusing, e.g. one equation contains two different variables, t,... more info
