In recent years, there have been many new advances in classical optics. Until now, these advances have been discussed only in research articles, which are difficult even for senior undergraduates to understand. The goal of this book is to make young readers familiar with the concepts behind these advances. Intended also as an optics textbook, it starts with the basics and then moves on to cover the newest technologies. This book promises to fascinate young minds in the area of optics.
