Ebook: Topology in Optics: Tying Light In Knots

Topology in Optics: Tying light in knots (Second Edition) provides the background needed to understand a broad range of unexpected phenomenon and developments arising from topological effects in optics. Assuming only a background in physics at the advanced undergraduate level, it requires no prior familiarity with topology. Revised and expanded with two new chapters, Topological Photonics and Optical Knots and Links , this will be an invaluable reference for undergraduate and graduate students as well as researchers and engineers in optics and related areas.

Key Features:

The first book to cover in
detail the use of topology in optical physics.

Self-contained, covering the
necessary background in topology.

At a level understandable to
an advanced undergraduate, but covering a range of cutting edge research topics.

Of interest to students and researchers in many
areas of physics, optics, engineering, and mathematics.
