Whereas traditional optics focuses on the shape and structure of the non-zero portions of the wavefield, singular optics describes a wave's properties from its null regions. The contents cover the three main areas of the field: the study of generic features of wavefields, determination of unusual properties of vortices and wavefields that contain singularities, and practical applications of vortices and other singularities. 410 0$aSeries in optics and optoelectronics (CRC Press) 606 $aSingularities (Mathematics) 615 0$aSingularities (Mathematics) 676 $a535 700 $aGbur$b Greg$01193397 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153185203321 996 $aSingular optics$92884960 997 $aUNINA
