Springer Optical Sciences Engineering Optics, Book 35, (Hardcover)

Engineering Optics is a book for students who want to apply their knowledge of optics to engineering problems, as well as for engineering students who want to acquire the basic principles of optics. This updated new edition brings back to life a classic in the field of optics. It covers such important topics as optical signal processing, holography, tomography, holographic radars, fiber optical communication, electro- and acousto-optic devices, and integrated optics (including optical bistability). As a basis for understanding these topics, the first few chapters give easy-to-follow explanations of diffraction theory, Fourier transforms, and geometrical optics. Practical examples appear throughout the text, together with numerous solved exercises. There is an entirely new section in this updated edition on 3-D imaging.
