Classical andQuantum Optics by Non-Interaction ofWavesChandrasekharRoychoudhuriUniversity of Connecticut, Storrs,USA

This work explains how the non-interaction of wavesprinciple applies to both classical and quantum optics.Focusing on waves in the linear domain, it exploresambiguous, contradictory, and paradoxical conceptsthat exist in spite of apparently correct mathematicalformulations. The author reformulates classical andquantum optics mathematics by clearly defining themethodology used for gathering information fromthese measurements. The book provides the tools toproperly validate a model of these measurements,thus giving a more coherent and simpler understand-ing of classical and quantum optics.
