suggestions for a sophomore-intermediate optics course text?
I've been asked to teach an optics elective course for physics majors and
minors that hasn't been offered in several years. The course would be
next spring (a year from now) and I intend to wedge in quite a bit of
phenomenology into the course, and students should already have
the calculus-based Knight text chapters on optics.
I'd be grateful for your suggestions for (and reasoning behind) a text for the course.
