Discussing the principles of physical and geometrical optics from an engineering point of view, this practical resource explains current optical technology and the applications of optical methods in a wide variety of fields - from astronomy and agriculture to medicine and semiconductors - and offers guidance in the selection of optical components for the construction of bread-board models using commercially available components.
Providing immediately useful equations without unnecessary mathematical derivations, Optical Principles and Technology for Engineers illustrates numerous design problems and describes frequently used optical systems... presents the optics of lenses, mirrors, prisms, filters, diffraction gratings, light guides, light sources, and detectors... details the performance and proper use of off-the-shelf optical components... furnishes tables of refractive indexes of optical materials in visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light... lists commercial suppliers of optical materials... and much more.
Written by a recognizing expert with over 40 years of industrial experience, Optical Principles and Technology for Engineers is an incomparable reference for mechanical, optical, electrical and electronics, instrumentation, industrial, and design engineers; materials scientists; optical physicists; engineering technologists and technicians working with optical systems; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
