Physics of Light and Optics
This curriculum was originally developed for a senior-level optics course in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Brigham Young University. Topics are addressed froma physics perspective and include the propagation of light in matter, reflection and transmission at boundaries, polarization effects, dispersion, coherence, ray optics and imaging, diffraction, and the quantumnature of light. Students using this book should be familiar with differentiation, integration, and standard trigonometric and algebraic manipulation.

NonLinear Optics Lecture Notes
This lecture note is intended to provide theoretical background to understand and predict a host of optical phenomena that become possible when nonlinearity in the optical response of a material is included in the description. It includes a detailed description of several of these phenomena, their experimental observation and photonic devices based on them.
