2 From ray optics to semiclassical optics Classical/Geometrical optics light is a ray which propagates straight cannot explain diffraction and interference Semiclassical optics light is a wave color (wavelength/frequency) is important amplitude (a) and phase are important, E(t) = ae i(kz ωt) cannot explain residual measurements noise Eugeniy E.
