Optical Engineering

This classic Tutorial Text provides a basic understanding of many fundamental optical principles. The second edition has been updated to reflect the development of electronic sensors, as well as the advent of mainstream consumer optical products.

This tutorial text provides an overview of design principles for receivers used in optical communication systems, intended for practicing engineers.

The optical engineering field's most widely used, benchmark book/CD, now updated to reflect an entire decade's worth of optical and lens advances. New! Chapter on lens design, and sections on new types of optics: diffractive, holographic, binary, etc.

Comprehensive introduction to the science of optics and optical engineering, and the history, people, and events shaping the discipline. Examines light waves and light rays, reflection and refraction, basic optical components and instruments, dispersion, diffraction, thin-lens theory, new design software, and the human visual system.
