Handbook of Optical Systems

Beschreibung

The state-of-the-art full-colored handbook gives in six volumes a comprehensive introduction to the principles and the practice of calculation, layout and understanding of optical systems and lens design. Written by reputed industrial experts in the field the user is introduced to the basic properties of optical systems, aberration theory, classification and characterization of systems, advanced simulation models, measuring of system quality and manufacturing issues. More than 3,000 full-colored illustrations and images support the reader and supply an easy understanding of complex optical systems and optical modeling. >>Vol.1 Fundamentals of Technical Optics Vol.2 Physical Image Formation Vol.3 Aberration Theory and Correction of Optical Systems Vol.4 Survey of Optical Instruments Vol.5 Metrology of Optical Components and Systems Vol.6 Advances Physical Optics In this volume Volume 1 gives a general introduction to the field of technical optics. Although part of the series, it acts as a fully selfstanding textbook. With more than 700 full color graphs and it is a intuitive introduction for the beginner and a comprehensive reference for the professional. 1 Introduction 2 Paraxial optics 3 Dielectric interfaces 4 Materials 5 Raytracing 6 Photometry 7 Lightsources 8 Sensors and receivers 9 Theory of color 10 Optical systems 11 Aberrations 12 Waveoptics 13 Plates and prisms 14 Gratings 15 Special components 16 Testing
Herbert Gross, born in 1955, joined Carl Zeiss in 1982 after finishing his physics degree as specialist for optical design. Since 1995 he has been working as head of the department of optical design, while also teaching as a lecturer in Aalen and Lausanne. The new handbook is an intuitive, didactically elegant approach to the subject of optical systems and is not competed by any other work on the market. The selected board of authors, all reputed industrial experts, guarantee the timeliness of the well coordinated, coherent chapters. This first volume of the handbook introduces readers to the basics of geometrical and technical optics. For an understanding of optical systems, it is necessary to be familiar with the paraxial optics, the methods of ray tracing, the notations of geometrical optics and the description of optical systems. Very often the simple geometrical model is not sufficient to understand complex systems, therefore the wave optical model and the effects of light sources and receivers are discussed here too. Special components, such as gratings, prisms or aspherical lenses are described in detail to provide an understanding of modern complex systems. A short introduction into aberrations and the testing of optical systems allow readers to consider and control the quality of optical systems.

"... the first of a six-volume series intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of the principles governing the design and simulation of optical systems ... recommended." CHOICE "...a compendium of information that would be of interest to optical engineering, physicists and others." American Reference Books Annual "The first two out of six volumes of the series Handbook of optical systems comes with more than 800 fullcoloured illustrations and images for an easy understanding of complex optical systems. [...] This series can be used by professionals as a comprehensive reference as well as an introduction for beginners in technicaloptics." Colloid Polym Sci

"... ein hervorragender Auftakt für ein Referenzwerk ... Zahlreiche Tabellen, Graphiken und Illustrationen geben einen raschen Überblick über grundlegende mathematische Gesetzmäßigkeiten und Zussammenhänge. Bewährte Darstellungen werden übernommen, zusammengefasst und durch aktuelle und praxisnahe Beispiele ergänzt, die die Handschrift eines Experten mit langjähriger Erfahrung tragen. Dadaurch wird der erste Band zu einem Handbuch im wörtlichen Sinne. Freuen wir uns auf die weiteren Bände." Photonik "'Fundamentals of Technical Optics' ist...für Ingenieure und Wissenschaftler, die sich professionell mit Optik beschäftigen, zu empfehlen. Dabei kann das Buch für diese Zielgruppe als Lehrbuch und Nachschlagewerk gleichermaßen dienen. (...) Ich kann das Buch ohne Einschränkungen alle denjenigen empfehlen, die professionell optische Systeme entwickeln oder beabsichtigen, selbiges zu lernen." Physik Journal "...notwendigen Grundlagen der paraxialen Optik, der Fotometrie bzw. Radiometrie, der Strahldurchrechnung als auch Materialeffekte und wichtige Nebenaspekte.Hervorzuheben ist dabei die Tiefe, die das Buch für die rein optischen Themenfelder aufweist." Optolines "Seit Jahren fehlt ein Optikbuch, das den technischen Aspekt der Optik in der Tiefe darstellt. Mit dem 'Handbook of Optical Systems - Band 1' wird diese Lücke geschlossen. Das klar gegliederte Handbuch besticht durch hohe Informationsdichte und starken Praxisbezug." Laser + Photonik
