- Hecht - Optics. My copy is now falling to bits from over use. This is the first book I will refer to myself and I normally recommend it to other people when they want to learn about the basic physics of optics. The books scores highly for its readability and Hecht ability to explain concepts. I can be a bit light in places but makes a good starting point.
- Goodman - Introduction to Fourier Optics. This is really the bible of Fourier optics. Goodman has produced an excellent book that covers the theory and applications of Fourier optics.
- Saleh & Teich - Fundamentals of Photonics, an excellent overview of the whole field of photoncs
- Born & Wolf - Principles of Optics, the most rigorous of books. Its not the easiest of reads.
- Smith - Mordern Optical Engineering
