Statistical Optics (Wiley Series in Pure and Applied Optics)

Wiley-Interscience, 1985. 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Book is clean with a square, tight binding and bright, white pages. Book has minor wear on the edges that is difficult to see in the scans. Dust jacket has moisture stain inside and book is free from any apparent marks inside. No other book covers so broad a range of practical and theoretical problems of this type. Early chapters treat random vari-ables, random processes, and some first-order properties of light waves. The chapters that follow present a unified treatment of several related problems such as the theory of partial coherence, imaging with partially coherent light, atmospheric degradations of images, and fundamental noise limitations in the detection of light. Statistical Optics includes many homework problems suitable for the classroom or for self-study. It can be used by optical and electrical engineers and physicists who want to master the statistical methods necessary for treating many problems in optics. In addition, students of these disciplines will find this an invaluable guide in their study of the subject. The book you see in the images is the actual book we have for sale.
