5.0 out of 5 stars
The best there is!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Optical Waves in Crystals: Propagation and Control of Laser Radiation (Wiley Series in Pure and Applied Optics) (Hardcover)
As all books by Yariv exremely readable. Excellent overview and excellent explanations. The layout is not fancy but the text is gold. No "handwaving", the authors are really interested in teaching the subject.
