Mathematical Optics

Going beyond standard introductory texts, this well-illustrated book brings together many new mathematical techniques from optical science and engineering research at a level accessible to students and newcomers to the field. The text presents the mathematical formalisms used in wave optics, explores current research and technological advances in plasmonics, and describes the powerful methods of group theory and modern quantum optics. With many examples and exercises, it also covers super-resolution imaging and differential geometric methods in image processing.
