Book
Optical Coherence and Quantum Optics
Leonard Mandel,Emil Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic account of optical coherence theory within the framework of classical optics, as applied to such topics as radiation from sources of different states of coherence, foundations of radiometry, effects of source coherence on the spectra of radiated fields, and scattering of partially coherent light by random media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Principles of optics : electromagnetic theory of propagation, interference and diffraction of light
Max Born,Emil Wolf,Eugene Hecht +2 more
TL;DR: The theory of interference and interferometers has been studied extensively in the field of geometrical optics, see as discussed by the authors for a survey of the basic properties of the electromagnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electromagnetic Diffraction in Optical Systems. II. Structure of the Image Field in an Aplanatic System
B. Richards,Emil Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an investigation of the structure of the electromagnetic field near the focus of an aplanatic system which images a point source is made, and the results are illustrated by diagrams and in a tabulated form based on data obtained by extensive calculations on an electronic computor.
