Publisher’s cloth, enlarged format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1976 edition is the definitive, greatly expanded version of the monumental textbook by Grigory Landsberg (1890–1957), a titan of Soviet physics and co-discoverer of Raman scattering. \"Landsberg’s Optics\" is not merely a manual; it is an institution in itself, having served as the primary source of knowledge for generations of physicists at Moscow State University (MSU) and Phystech (MIPT).\u003cbr\u003eThe book is celebrated for its encyclopedic breadth and its unique \"physical\" approach. Landsberg avoids dry mathematical abstraction, instead focusing on the fundamental physical nature of light. The text covers everything from classical geometric optics and photometry to the complex wave phenomena of interference, diffraction, and polarization. This fifth edition was significantly updated to include the revolutionary advancements of the mid-20th century, specifically the physics of lasers (optical quantum generators) and the foundations of holography.\u003cbr\u003eA substantial portion of the work is dedicated to the molecular optics and the interaction of light with matter—areas where Landsberg’s own research was world-leading. It provides a rigorous treatment of dispersion, absorption, and the scattering of light in various media. The 1976 volume also features a deep exploration of the quantum nature of light, discussing the photoelectric effect, the Compton effect, and the dual wave-particle nature of photons.\u003cbr\u003eWith nearly 1,000 pages of text, intricate diagrams, and high-quality illustrations, this enlarged edition remains an unsurpassed reference. Its pedagogical value lies in its ability to connect classical foundations with modern quantum optics, all while maintaining a clarity of thought that is the hallmark of the Great Soviet School of Physics. For collectors, researchers, and historians, this 1976 printing represents the peak of academic scientific publishing in the USSR.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963228651562,"sku":"EB-306615266813","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_df37bc1e-b0f5-407b-af62-62522e3da2df.jpg?v=1768162755","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/%d0%b3-%d1%81-%d0%bb%d0%b0%d0%bd%d0%b4%d1%81%d0%b1%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%b3-%d0%be%d0%bf%d1%82%d0%b8%d0%ba%d0%b0-1976-g-s-landsberg-optics-soviet-university-textbook","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
