Introduction to Optical Engineering
The authors present basic optical principles, particularly reflection, refraction, aberrations, diffraction and interference. Building on this foundation, they then discuss a wide variety of optical devices and processes, including simple optical instruments, photodetectors, spatial light modulators, holography and lasers. They devote two chapters to linear system transforms and signal processing, and the book concludes with a chapter on fiber optics. The book contains many worked examples and over 250 problems.
- Over 250 problems
- Solutions manual available for instructors (free; request from publisher, sbn 595800)
- 1st author is a Fellow of the IEEE, the Optical Society of America, and the International Society for Optical Engineering
Reviews & endorsements
"This book will be a valuable text book to electrical engineering and physics undergraduates taking courses in optical engineering, photonics, and electro-optics. It is a welcome addition to the field of optics." Mechatronics
