Can anyone tell me a self teaching book or lecture notes on physical optics which has all the concept written in very clear and simple way with lots of example and all the related derivation done in step by step manner . As I am not so familiar with this subject but I want to start it so a good book is really needed . Thanks in advance

Principles of Optics: Electromagnetic Theory of Propagation, Interference and Diffraction of Light ---By Max Born

Or
Modern Optics (Dover Books on Physics) gives a detailed math overview of Optics as a whole. Its only downfall is that their are not many illustrations (if you are visual learner)
