Page 16 - Phase Space Optics Fundamentals and Applications

Preface xv

Webelievethatthebookwillbehelpfulforresearchersandgraduate
students alike, who wish to familiarize themselves with phase-space
concepts in optics, but also want to move beyond a mere introduc-
tory level of discussion. We are sure that the number of applications
derived from phase-space optics will grow, and we hope that this
collection will help to facilitate this development.
This book would not have been possible without the guidance and
encouragement of McGraw-Hill senior editor Taisuke Soda. We are
indebted to him and the helpful staff at McGraw-Hill.
