This post is primarily aimed at optics students and researchers, so feel free to ignore otherwise!

I wanted to let folks know that my textbook on Electromagnetic Optics is now available in physical copies through sites like Bookshop.org! Here are the first copies I recieved:

The book is also of course available in e-book format directly from IoP Publishing; the description as given there:

This book will be an in-depth textbook introducing and covering all topics related to the fact that light is a transverse electromagnetic wave. It will begin with a discussion of the history of Maxwell’s equations, from which the wave properties of light were first deduced, and then move into the fundamentals of electromagnetic waves, such as the polarization of light, energy and momentum conservation, and basic solutions of Maxwell’s equations. From there, it will move into more practical topics: light propagation in matter of various types, light propagation through interfaces, light propagation in waveguides (like fibre optic cables), and light scattering.

Anyway, I’m excited because I think this is my best book yet! It’s designed for upper level undergraduate/intro graduate level optics students.
