Handbook of Optical Design (Optical Engineering)

by Daniel Malacara

Handbook of Optical Design (Optical Engineering) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The second edition of a text which details the components of complex photographic lenses, astronomical telescopes, visual and afocal systems and terrestrial telescopes and lens design optimization. It discusses geometrical optics principles, thin lenses and spherical mirrors, spherical aberration and diffraction in optical systems.

Book News Annotation:

Malacara and Malacara (both of the Centro de Investigaciones en Optica, Mexico) describe classical aspects of lens design and touch upon some modern techniques and methods of optical instrumentation, such as astronomical telescopes, gaussian beams, and computer lens design. The basic concepts of first-and third-order theory of lenses are presented and the theory of the primary aberrations of centered optical systems is developed. Wave and ray methods for lens design evaluation are described along with diffraction effects in optical systems. The remaining half of the material describes major optical instruments and their design. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
