Polarized Light and Optical Systems addresses the need for a polarized light class for undergraduate and graduate students using a curriculum that has been developed and refined for a decade at the University of Arizona’s College of Optical Sciences. This book is also intended as a reference for the optical engineer and optical designer in building polarimeters, designing polarization critical optical systems, and manipulating polarized light for a myriad of purposes.
