    Simone Malacrida

    Simone Malacrida (1977) Ha lavorato nel settore della ricerca (ottica e nanotecnologie) e, in seguito, in quello industriale-impiantistico, in particolare nel Power, nell'Oil&Gas e nelle infrastrutture. E' interessato a problematiche finanziarie ed energetiche. Ha pubblicato un primo ciclo di 21 libri principali (10 divulgativi e didattici e 11 romanzi) + 91 manuali didattici derivati. Un secondo ciclo, sempre di 21 libri, è in corso di elaborazione e sviluppo.

      INTRODUCTION

      In this book the main physical questions concerning optics are presented.

      The study of this discipline began systematically in the seventeenth century by developing the so-called geometric optics.

      The evolution of the different optical systems, such as lenses, mirrors, telescopes and telescopes, has allowed a vast application of this scientific sector.

      Some mathematical formalisms, such as that of matrix notation, have become fundamental for the study of this subject.

      In addition to this, the discovery of the electromagnetic field has given optics a new, and more intriguing, position within modern and contemporary science.

      Visible light is nothing but an electromagnetic wave and, therefore, the same characteristics of the electromagnetic field gave birth to diffractive optics.

      This evolution has led
