Book Description:

The advent of lasers in the 1960s led to the development of many newfields in optical physics. This book is a systematic treatment of oneof these fields--the broad area that deals with the coherence andfluctuation of light. The authors begin with a review of probabilitytheory and random processes, and follow this with a thorough discussionof optical coherence theory within the framework of classical optics.They next treat the theory of photoelectric detection of light andphotoelectric correlation. They then discuss in some detail quantumsystems and effects. The book closes with two chapters devoted to lasertheory and one on the quantum theory of nonlinear optics. The soundintroduction to coherence theory and the quantum nature of light andthe chapter-end exercises will appeal to graduate students andnewcomers to the field. Researchers will find much of interest in thenew results on coherence-induced spectral line shifts, nonclassicalstates of light, higher-order squeezing, and quantum effects ofdown-conversion. Written by two of the world's most highly regardedoptical physicists, this book is required reading of all physicists andengineers working in optics.
