Summary: not bad book for apllied optics
Review: this book is one of the best books in its field, the subjects was explain very nicely and in very simple ways, the only think is missing is more example(solved problems)so the reader can understand how this a set of equation can be applied in real world situation.

Summary: Modern and practical optics for the masses
Review: This book is one of the best investments a physicist can do, it is worth every penny and then some. Not being a formally trained optical physicist, but working in a field--Laser-Plasma Interactions--in which I am exposed heavily to practical problems in Optics everyday, Saleh & Teich's book has come to the rescue plenty of times--Gaussian optics, beam propagation, phase conjugation, interferometry, fibers, reflectivity, you name it. It not only combines clearly and thoroughly the what's and why's but also the how-to's, in a way that no other book can do. If you can afford only one Optics' book, this is the one in which to spend your money. And keep it in a safe place, because all your coworkers will borrow it endlessly, and they will be asking if you are leaving the book with them when you change workplaces...

Summary: Best overview of photonics
Review: Very well-written overview of the major topics of photonics. Excellent mix of theory and practical applications. I particularly like the book's structure, taking the reader logically through the sequence of geometric, wave, electromagnetic, and quantum optics. There is nothing superfluous in this book - its 900 pages are packed with useful information. It's written in an incredibly precise and error-free manner.
