Offers an account of how classical optics has been reconstructed in a modern way by emphasizing the hierarchy of singularities that exists in light fields. This book explores the diffraction patterns associated with caustics that are dominated by wave dislocations, line singularities of the phase, and analogous to crystal dislocations.
