轻松的风格，并设法使每个主题听起来都很简单。计算机模拟似乎毫不费力就能完成。当我读完这些章节时，我觉得我学到了很多东西。但当我谈到我熟悉的主题（例如范西特-泽尼克定理或夏克-哈特曼传感器）时，我意识到我会以不同的方式呈现该主题，可能会更加强调基础知识。光的部分相干性从根本上讲与光的统计性质有关，但这里并没有真正强调这一点，尽管可以使用计算机生成的示例以图形方式说明这一点。我怀疑每个主题的覆盖范围存在一些不一致。即便如此，我还是向光学界所有有兴趣做一些有用的事情的人强烈推荐这本书。每个人都会学到一些东西，并刷新他们对许多使用光学的实用设备的基础主题的记忆。 ■ Chris Dainty 在英国伦敦SW7 2BZ 帝国理工学院Blackett 实验室光学部工作。
relaxed style and manages to make each subject sound easy. The computer simulations appear to be done effortlessly. As I read the chapters, I felt I was learning a lot. But when I came to subjects that were familiar to me (such as the van Cittert– Zernike theorem, or the Shack–Hartmann sensor), I realized that I would have presented the subject differently, probably placing more emphasis on the fundamentals. Partial coherence of light is fundamentally about the statistical nature of light, but this is not really emphasized here, even though it can be illustrated graphically using computer-generated examples. I suspect that there is some nonuniformity in the coverage of each topic. Even so, I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone in optics who is interested in doing something useful. Everyone will learn something, and refresh their memory on subjects that are fundamental to so many practical devices that use optics. ■ Chris Dainty is in the Optics Section, Blackett Laboratory, Imperial College, London SW7 2BZ, UK.
