Fundamentals of Quantum Optics

Fundamentals of Quantum OpticsThis graduate level text employs a formal, classical viewpoint to survey the fundamentals of quantum optics. Its coverage includes the quantum theory of partial coherence and the nature of the relations between classical and quantum theories of coherence. Students and professional physicists interested in intensity interferometry, photon counting correlations, and lasers will find this volume extremely helpful. Topics include partially coherent light,
