PHOTONICS BASICS
A free monograph for students who want to learn the basics of optics and photonics can be downloaded at the Web site of SPIE. A CD-ROM also is available at a modest cost. Designed for first- and second-year college students, the 10-chapter book Fundamentals of Photonics also is suitable for nontraditional students, such as lifelong learners, or for those who want to develop their interest in the field.
