Progress in Optics, Volume 69 is the latest release in a yearly publication that provides in-depth reviews on topics in experimental theoretical optics, as well as on optical engineering. The book's intended audience are researchers and graduate students. Chapters in this new release include Radiative Transport in Rotated Reference Frames, Consistent scalar imaging theory, Single photon detection with superconducting detectors and their applications, Phased-array lidar, Pearcey beams and autofocusing waves, Meta-surfaces, and Holographic metasurfaces.
