A definitive and comprehensive reference in optical science and engineering, Handbook of Optics, Third Edition, Volume I presents state-of-the-art coverage of geometrical and physical optics, polarization phenomena, and the theory and practical use of optical components and instruments. Sponsored by the Optical Society of America, this volume is part of a five-volume set that brings together leading experts to explain fundamental principles, advanced methodologies, and real-world applications across the field of optics. Volume I includes in-depth sections on optical imaging, coherence theory, scattering, polarized light and its measurement, lenses and optical systems, prisms and gratings, integrated and micro-optics, and major instrument classes (e.g., cameras, microscopes, spectrometers, interferometers, holographic systems). It serves as an essential resource for physicists, optical engineers, students, and researchers requiring authoritative foundations and technical detail.
