Optics for engineers / Charles A. DiMarzio.

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: Boca Raton : CRC Press, c2012.Description: xxiii, 535 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 26 cmISBN:
  • 9781439807255
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 621.36   23
Contents:
Introduction -- Basic Geometric Optics -- Matrix Optics -- Stops, Pupils, and Windows -- Aberrations -- Polarized Light -- Interference -- Diffraction -- Gaussian Beams -- Coherence -- Fourier Optics -- Radiometry and Photometry -- Optical Detection -- Nonlinear Optics.
Summary: The field of optics has become central to major developments in medical imaging, remote sensing, communication, micro- and nanofabrication, and consumer technology, among other areas. Applications of optics are now found in products such as laser printers, bar-code scanners, and even mobile phones. There is a growing need for engineers to understand the principles of optics in order to develop new instruments and improve existing optical instrumentation. Based on a graduate course taught at Northeastern University, Optics for Engineers provides a rigorous, practical introduction to the field of optics. Drawing on his experience in industry, the author presents the fundamentals of optics related to the problems encountered by engineers and researchers in designing and analyzing optical systems.
