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 indetail the use of topology in optical physics.
Self-contained, covering thenecessary background in topology.
At a level understandable toan advanced undergraduate, but covering a range of cutting edge research topics.
Of interest to students and researchers in manyareas of physics, optics, engineering, and mathematics.
