Böcker av David S. Simon

This book provides an overview of novel types of light beams that exhibit properties previously thought impossible, and discusses their applications. It is an ideal guide for undergraduate students, and also beginning graduate students or researchers who are not experts in this field.

Concisely provides the necessary mathematical background needed to understand these developments and to give a rapid survey of some of the optical applications where topological issues arise

This book describes the experimental and theoretical bases for the development of specifically quantum-mechanical approaches to metrology, imaging, and communication. The particular techniques explored include two-photon interferometry, two-photon optical aberration and dispersion cancellation, lithography, microscopy, and cryptography.
