Oscillations and Waves

The manual shows the deep community of oscillatory and wave processes regardless of their nature. The electromechanical analogy is widely used. The reader"s attention primarily appeals to the physical meaning, visibility and applications, important to understand the essence of studied phenomena and their theoretical models.
The propagation of optical waves in metal and dielectric waveles is discussed in detail. A separate chapter is devoted to the influence of nonlinear effects, in which the phenomena of modulators, self-focusing light beams, the generation of optical harmonics, formation and distribution of optical solitons are considered. Tasks are given, the solution of which contributes to the consolidation of the material being studied.
The manual is focused on students and graduate students specializing in optics, laser technology, optical measuring and information technologies, including optical location and communications, optical-electronic systems, photonics and opto-formatics and other related specialties of radiotechnical, instrument-making and physical profile.
