<P><STRONG>Polarized Light and Optical Systems</STRONG> presents polarization optics for undergraduate and graduate students in a way which makes classroom teaching relevant to current issues in optical engineering. This curriculum has been developed and refined for a decade and a half at the University of Arizona¿s College of Optical Sciences. <STRONG>Polarized Light and Optical Systems</STRONG> provides a reference for the optical engineer and optical designer in issues related to building polarimeters, designing displays, and polarization critical optical systems. The central theme of <STRONG>Polarized Light and Optical Systems</STRONG> is a unifying treatment of polarization elements as optical elements and optical elements as polarization elements. </P><P><STRONG>Key Features</STRONG></P><UL><LI>Comprehensive presentation of Jones calculus and Mueller calculus with tables and derivations of the Jones and Mueller matrices for polarization elements and polarization effects</LI><P></
