Introduction to Optical Engineering

by Francis T.S. Yu, Xiangyang Yang

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.
