Traditional branches of optics describe the behavior of light from different points of view (geometrical, wave and energetic). All of them were logically united in the famous book Principles of Optics by M. Born and E. Wolf, first published in 1969. However, over the past 60 years, optics has changed radically: the invention of the laser led to the emergence of new branches of optics (coherence optics, holography, optics of ultra-fast laser pulses, etc.) and mathematical tools of modern physical theories (quantum mechanics, electronics and microwave technology, etc.) were applied to new presentations of traditional branches of optics. At the same time, in mathematical and physical theories, a heuristic approach based on plausible reasoning (modeling, analogies, dualities etc.) and a first principal method were developing. This work unites the traditional and modern branches of optics into a single theory by using modern mathematical tools and a heuristic approach.

Andrey Gitin graduated from the University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics (St. Petersburg, Russia) in 1978 and started to work as a researcher at the S.I. Vavilov State Optical Institute (St. Petersburg). Here, he defended his PhD on methods of radiometric calculations based on the principles of the theory of optical devices (1991) and his doctorate on the duality principle in optics, radiometry and illumination engineering (1998). He worked as a visiting scientist at the S.I. Vavilov State Optical Institute (Berlin, Germany) from 2005 to 2015 and at the Institute of Optics and Atomic Physics (Berlin) from 2016 to 2017. His work was devoted to the search for new methodological approaches and modern mathematical tools for a more compact and effective presentation of both traditional sections of optics (geometrical and wave theories, radiometry and illumination engineering) and the optics of an ultra-short laser pulse.
