In thiscoverage of infrared fiber technology, readers are given in-depth facts about the three key types of IR fibers, including how they developed and how they work. What sets this book apart is its comprehensive look at current and future applications, such as IR fiber amplifiers and photonic bandgap fibers, as well as fabrication techniques.

Summarizes some of the critical changes that have impacted optical system manufacturing from 2000 to 2020. The book provides a snapshot of the field that conveys the basics of current manufacturing capabilities and promising new techniques.

What is light? Where are optics and photonics present in our lives and in nature? What lies behind different optical phenomena? What is an optical instrument? How does the eye resemble an optical instrument? How can we explain human vision? This book, written by a group of young scientists, answers these questions and many more.

Introduces interested students with backgrounds in physics, optics, computational engineering, mathematics, chemistry, material science, nanotechnology, and other areas to the fascinating field of lithographic techniques for nanofabrication. It should also help senior engineers and managers expand their knowledge of alternative methods and applications.

Provides a concise, self-contained, and rigorous overview of the different processes, techniques, and configurations used to develop optical biosensors. Several representative applications in many different fields are provided. Other practical aspects, such as commonly used biorecognition elements are also presented.

This tutorial provides the background information necessary for the application of modulation transfer function techniques to performance specification, estimation, and characterization of optical and electro-optical systems. It introduces the basic assumptions of linear systems theory.

Introduces the reader to the properties of Fourier transforms and their uses, and introduces the program Mathematica, and demonstrates its use in Fourier analysis. Unlike many other introductory treatments of the Fourier transform, this treatment will focus from the start on both one-dimensional and two-dimensional transforms.

Over two hundred illustrations, many in colour, capture the beautiful optical effects that we see in the sky. The author describes and explains these effects in non-technical language. In addition to discussing well-known phenomena as rainbows and halos, he treats the rarer ones, including sun pillars, sun dogs, glories, and mirages.

This third volume of the series Lectures in Optics provides a comprehensive presentation of the wave optics effects. Each chapter ends with a simple yet adequate summary of the main points, aiming to reinforce an understanding of the covered material. Selfassessment is facilitated by ample practice examples, exercises, and quizzes.

This second volume of the series Lectures in Optics develops a thorough presentation of geometrical optics effects. Comprehensive practice examples, exercises, and quizzes throughout the chapters reinforce an understanding of the covered material.

This first volume of the series Lectures in Optics introduces the simplest optical phenomena and the simplest optical instruments. Among these phenomena, rectilinear propagation, reflection, and refraction dominate the optical effects in nature and are essential to understanding the function of simple optical devices.

Discover the history behind the semiconductor laser diode that has enabled so many of the modern optomechanical devices we enjoy - the vertical cavity surface emitting laser - and its creator, Kenichi Iga. Translated from the original Japanese edition, this book charts a course through the author's life and the evolution of the laser industry.

Updated and expanded, this third edition represents an evolving, idiosyncratic, and eclectic toolbox intended to allow any engineer, scientist, manager, marketeer, or technician (regardless of specialty) to make rapid and accurate guesses at solutions in a wide range of topics during system design, modelling, or fabrication.

Provides a timely review of the various optical architectures, display technologies, and building blocks for modern consumer, enterprise, and defense head-mounted displays for various applications, including smart glasses, smart eyewear, and virtual-reality, augmented-reality, and mixed-reality headsets.

Provides both the most updated formulations of the sampling theory and practical algorithms of image sampling with sampling rates close to the theoretical minimum, as well interpolation-error-free methods of image resampling and the theory of discrete representation of signal integral transforms.

Combines the engineering disciplines necessary for the development of an infrared system. It includes descriptions of the basic elements involving image formation and image quality, radiometry and flux transfer, an explanation of the figures of merit invo

Speckle, a granular structure appearing in images and diffraction patterns produced by objects that are rough on the scale of an optical wavelength, is a ubiquitous phenomenon, appearing in optics, acoustics, microwaves, and other fields. This book thoroughly covers this subject, including both statistical theory and applications of the phenomenon.

Survey investigations, with the end goal of monitoring the entire celestial sphere, have become a priority in astronomy. This is the first book devoted to wide-field telescopes, intended to bridge the gap between astronomers and professional opticians. It emphasizes the deep connection between classical and new telescopes.

Serves as a reference guide to the primary results, explanations, and interpretations of quantum mechanics that foregoes the introductions, derivations, and conceptual discussions found in most textbooks on the subject.
