This book presents a systematic account of optical coherence theory within the framework of classical optics, as applied to such topics as radiation from source

A summary of the pioneering work of Glauber in the field of optical coherence phenomena and photon statistics, this book describes the fundamental ideas of mode

An in-depth and wide-ranging introduction to the field of quantum optics.

All optical fields undergo random fluctuations. They may be small, as in the output of many lasers, or they may be appreciably larger, as in light generated by

This graduate-level text surveys the fundamentals of quantum optics, including the quantum theory of partial coherence and the nature of the relations between c
