For this second edition of a text/reference for graduate students and engineers, Andrews (mathematics, University of Central Florida) and Phillips (Florida Space Institute) have updated material on the theory of beam wave propagation to reflect developments since the book was first published in 1998. Also new to this edition are models for the scintillation index under moderate-to-strong irradiance fluctuations, and models for aperture averaging based on ABCD ray matrices. Beam wander, the theory of partial coherence of the source, and phase fluctuations are also covered.
