which book to study optics from?

Hello all

I want book recommendations from you people on the following subjects:

1) Electro-optics, photonics or quantum electronics (I have heard that these terms mean almost the same thing)
2) Optical communications and computing
3) Optical Engineering
4) Fourier Optics
5) Non linear optics
6) Bio photnics

I will really appreciate if a few words are added describing the merits/demerits of the books u recommend for both a beginner and advanced user.

thanks
