内容概要

Prior to the development of the first lasers in the 1960s, optical coherence was not a subject with which many scientists had much acquaintance, even though early contributions to the field were made by several distinguished physicists, including Max you Lane, Erwin Schrodinger and Frits Zernike. However, the situation changed once it was realized that the remarkable properties of laser light depended on its coherence. An earlier development that also triggered interest in optical coherence was a series of important experiments by Hanbury Brown and Twiss in teh 1950s,showing that, correlations between the fluctuations of mutually coherent beams of thermal light could be measured by photoelectric correlation and two-photon coincidence counting experiments. The interpretation of these experiments was, however, surrounded by controversy, which emphasized the need for understanding the coherence properties of light and their effect on the interaction between light and matter.

•   很优秀的一本书，作者渊博的学识令人大开眼界，认真研读这本书对于掌握相干光学和量子光学都有很大助益。
•   每个光学人手中不可缺少的书
•   很厚，够读一年了
•   内容很权威，很全面，但是也太多太厚了，不适合作为教科书，只能作为科研人员的参考书吧，我是为了装点门面才买的，呵呵。
•   csdcsd
•   英文原著，一定要带着膜拜去读，是一本不错的工具书，书很厚通读需要若干时间，但相信读完一定收获不小！！
•   经典之书，wolf写的还有错？
•   该书价格合理，印刷质量可以！
•   这本书是英文影印版。比较厚，不是很适合作为初次学习相干光学或者量子光学的教材，但很适合作为一本参考书。 要想知道光场的量子性质，这本书从各个方面详细给予阐述。其中本书中也有一些有用的数学方法：任意相干状态源的辐射；二阶相干理论的一些应用；光与光电检测的半经典理论；量子关联与量子统计；集体原子相互作用；单模激光器；光的压缩态；非线性光学中的一些量子效应。
•   装订非常糟糕，简直不如一般盗版。
