Description:
This book introduces the holodiagram--a unique tool for visualizing many different fields in optics. The diagram provides a straightforward, non-mathematical way to explain many optical phenomena, such as reflection, diffraction, the fringes in classical and holographic interferometry, apparent distortions of wavefronts caused by the limited speed of light, and optical distortions caused by relativistic effects. The text presents moire patterns in a way so that readers can find solutions to problems by manipulating the diagram, rather than by solving complicated equations
