The collection of problems in physical optics is compiled by famous French scientists and is intended for students specializing in optics and spectroscopy. Many tasks will also be useful for students of other specialties when studying a general physics course. The book includes a large number of various tasks in the most important sections of physical optics, taking into account the latest achievements in this area (holography, lasers, etc.). For all problems, detailed solutions are given, which understand both the physical and mathematical aspects of the issue.
