Books

The faculty members of the College of Optical Sciences are, without a doubt, leaders in the field. They share their expertise in a variety of ways: publishing articles, presenting at conferences and educating the next generation of optical scientists.

In many cases, they've even written the book on their specialties. We've collected a list of the texts authored or edited by members of the OSC faculty, many of which can be found in the Fred A. Hopf Reading Room.
