    02/26/2004: Early edition of this book was very helpful adjunct in EE antennas class. Also used it during early career in fiber optics with ITT Telecom about 20 years ago; 1st time seeing a 'natural'Fabry-Perot cavity in the form of what was then non-contacting FO connectors, an incidental effect but 'mysterious' until the FP-cavity effect confirmed; this book was very useful in that issue and also in other basic considerations such as coherence length & time in real FO systems. I currently have a copy of the Dover edition as well as the original HB. Unlike some Dover material this book is worth more than the Dover price-- a good buy!

    02/12/2003: Light is special to us not only because we are puzzled as to its nature and how it interacts, but because the presence of light inspires us to create. The more we see, with our eyes and with our minds, the more we want to communicate and express. This book does not focus on the angle of reflection-- but the question, 'What is light?'
