光的相乾和偏振是光學中重要的現象，其應用也極為廣泛。《光的相乾與偏振理論導論（英文影印版）》的作者是國際光學界的學者，在相關的研究取中取得過突破性的進展。也正是因為作者的貢獻，本書能夠以統一處理方法研究光的相乾與偏振這兩種現象。對於光通信、光學成像等領域的研究者及研究生，乃至對此領域感興趣的讀者來說，本書是不可多得的讀物。

內容提要

所有的光場都是漲落的，有些光場的漲落很小，例如許多激光器輸齣的光；有些光場的漲落相當大，例如從熱光源輻射的光。描述漲落光場的基礎理論是相乾理論。部分偏振現象就是漲落的重要錶現。實際上，相乾理論所能處理的問題不僅限於漲落。與常規的處理方法不同，相乾理論是依據可觀測量描述光場，並解釋這些可觀測量，例如光的光譜以及它在傳輸中如何變化的。
　　《光的相乾與偏振理論導論（英文影印版）》給齣瞭光的相乾與偏振現象的統一處理方法。適閤光通信、激光光束在光縴中和通過湍流大氣傳輸、光學成像，尤其在顯微鏡成像（例如醫學診斷）的物理界和工程界的研究者閱讀。
