Optics is the branch of physics that studies the behaviour and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments...

Timeline of electromagnetism and classical optics lists, within the history of electromagnetism, the associated theories, technology, and events. 28th...

as "classical optics". The term "modern optics" refers to areas of optical research that largely developed in the 20th century, such as wave optics and...

photonics developments are successful. Photonics is closely related to optics. Classical optics long preceded the discovery that light is quantized, when Albert...

Principles of Optics, colloquially known as Born and Wolf, is an optics textbook written by Max Born and Emil Wolf that was initially published in 1959...

Fourier optics is the study of classical optics using Fourier transforms (FTs), in which the waveform being considered is regarded as made up of a combination...

phenomenon was independently discovered by S. Pancharatnam (1956), in classical optics and by H. C. Longuet-Higgins (1958) in molecular physics; it was generalized...
