Hi, guys. I need 2 textbooks for my graduate courses, including quantum optics and nonlinear optics.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Elements of Quantum Optics, Pierre Meystre
Some popular textbooks for learning about optics include "Introduction to Optics" by Frank L. Pedrotti, "Fundamentals of Optics" by Francis A. Jenkins and Harvey E. White, and "Optics" by Eugene Hecht. Each of these textbooks covers the basics of optics and is commonly used in undergraduate courses.
Yes, there are textbooks that focus on specific aspects of optics such as "Geometrical and Trigonometrical Optics" by Ajoy Ghatak, which focuses on the geometrical and physical principles of optics, and "Nonlinear Optics" by Robert Boyd, which covers advanced topics in nonlinear optics.
Yes, there are textbooks that are designed for self-study such as "Optics Demystified" by Stan Gibilisco and "Schaum's Outline of Optics" by Eugene Hecht and Frederick J. Bueche. These textbooks offer a more user-friendly approach to learning about optics and often include practice problems and solutions.
Some textbooks that have a strong theoretical foundation include "Principles of Optics" by Max Born and Emil Wolf, "Optics" by Miles V. Klein and Thomas E. Furtak, and "Optical Coherence and Quantum Optics" by Leonard Mandel and Emil Wolf. These textbooks are more advanced and are commonly used in graduate courses.
Yes, there are textbooks that focus on the practical applications of optics such as "Optics in Photography" by Rudolf Kingslake and "Optical Design Fundamentals for Infrared Systems" by Max J. Riedl. These textbooks cover the use of optics in various fields such as photography, astronomy, and infrared technology.
