Klappentext
In the fourty-six years that have gone by since the first volume of Progress in Optics was published, optics has become one of the most dynamic fields of science. The volumes in this series which have appeared up to now contain more than 300 review articles by distinguished research workers, which have become permanent records for many important developments. - Metamaterials - Polarization Techniques - Linear Baisotropic Mediums - Ultrafast Optical Pulses - Quantum Imaging - Point-Spread Funcions - Discrete Wigner Functions
