Topology in Optics: Tying light in knots (Second Edition)
provides the background needed to understand a broad range of unexpected
phenomenon and developments arising from topological effects in optics.
Assuming only a background in physics at the advanced undergraduate level,
it requires no prior familiarity with topology. Revised and expanded with two new
chapters, Topological Photonics and Optical Knots and Links , this
will be an invaluable reference for undergraduate and graduate students as well
as researchers and engineers in optics and related areas.
Key Features
- The first book to cover in
detail the use of topology in optical physics.
- Self-contained, covering the
necessary background in topology.
- At a level understandable to
an advanced undergraduate, but covering a range of cutting edge research topics.
- Of interest to students and researchers in many
areas of physics, optics, engineering, and mathematics.
