Mansuripur M. Classical Optics and its Applications

2nd Edition. — Cambridge University Press, 2009. — 713 p. — ISBN: 0521881692.This text covers topics in classical optics in the form of self contained chapters. The first half of the book deals with basic concepts of optics, and the second describes how these concepts can be used in a variety of technological applications.Abbe's sine condition
