5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Optics Intro, and also good reference book, 29 Jan 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Optics (Hardcover)

This book is constantly referred to by those who have been practicing in the field of optics for years and years, but also serves as an excellent introduction to optics. The explanations are simple, clear and direct. The explanations in Hecht often settle complicated arguments on esoteric regions of optics, by reducing the argument to first principles and clear, concise descriptions.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential for those studying Optics, 11 Mar 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Optics (World Student) (Paperback)

This book is an absolute must for all students studying Optics at University level. It is certainly a necessity for those studying Physics at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh.

The basics are covered simply, but completely, and more advanced topics are covered more qualitatively than quantitatively

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for the basics, 3 Jan 2001

By	pjfloyd@my-deja.com (Grenoble, France) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Optics (World Student) (Paperback)

Covers all the basics very well. A bit weak on some of the most recent developments (non-linear optics and laser optics for instance).
