This book arose from efforts to form a special session to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the first hardware demonstration of the fiber gyro in 1976 by Vali and Shorthill. The chapters include contributions from key engineers and scientists who have worked on manufacturing high-performance fiber gyros for many applications.

After reviewing the historical background of surface scatter theory, this book describes how integrating sound radiometric principles with scalar diffraction theory results in the development of a linear systems formulation of non-paraxial scalar diffraction theory which then becomes the basis of the Generalized Harvey-Shack surface scatter theory.

Introduces readers to the roles of the data fusion processes defined by the Joint Directors of Laboratories data fusion model and the Data Fusion Information Group enhancements, data fusion algorithms, and noteworthy applications of data fusion to intelligent transportation systems.

Explores the singular optics of partially coherent, partially polarized, and polychromatic light fields. This topic gives rise to both new concepts and experimental tools for laboratory investigation, and considerable extension of the possibilities for implementation of the singular optics paradigm in solving diverse practical problems.

Presents basic structural deformation and stress analysis as applied to optical systems. The book provides the tools for first-order analyses required in the design concept phase before handling the intricate details of a full-up design.

Provides a foundation for the development of MATLAB code for simulating the performance of thin-film optical structures that can be combined to make interference filters. The simulations developed in this book begin with filters based on simple dielectric materials both with and without dispersion.

Provides basic explanations of the operation and application of the most common methods in the field and in commercial use. The first half of the book presents a working knowledge of the mechanism and limitations of optical dimensional measurement methods. The book concludes with a series of manufacturing application examples.

In modern optics, the photon concept is indispensable for an ever-increasing range of applications, including many that are now prominent in twenty-first-century technology. This book provides a sound and up-to-date description of the theory and applications of photon science. The text is illustrated with original colour figures.

Demonstrates how to design an optical system using Synopsis CODE VR, a full-featured optical design program that has a command line interface. The complete design process (from lens definition to the description and evaluation of lens errors on to the improvement of lens performance) is illustrated using the program.

Distils the critical information on infrared principles, techniques, and systems. The book covers all aspects of infrared optics, including monochromatic and chromatic optical aberrations. It also provides a comprehensive introduction to the optical, mechanical, and thermal properties of infrared materials.

Since the publication of the first edition of the Handbook in 2002, optical methods for biomedical diagnostics have developed in many well-established directions, and new trends have also appeared. To encompass all current methods, the text has been updated and expanded into the two volumes contained in this set: Volume 1: Light - Tissue Interaction and Volume 2: Methods.

Covers all aspects of IR optics, including monochromatic and chromatic optical aberrations as well as important concepts such as depth of focus, depth of field, hyperfocal distance, warm shields, aspheric surfaces, and kinoforms. It also provides a comprehensive introduction to the optical, mechanical, and thermal properties of infrared materials.

Crystal growth is the art and science of growing crystals to facilitate high-technology applications in lasers, semiconducting devices, computers, magnetic and optical devices, and pharmaceuticals, among others. This Field Guide examines the basic phenomena and techniques of growing bulk single crystals from solution, melt, and vapours.

Provides an in-depth, self-contained introduction of partially coherent imaging theory for researchers and engineers working on optical lithography for semiconductor manufacturing, including those in the EDA industry. It is mathematically complete: the opening chapters discuss the essential principles, and all derivations are presented with their intermediate steps.

Lock-in amplifiers are key devices in numerous instruments used in the optical sciences or in optical equipment in the industry. In many experimental configurations, they represent the means to reliably detect and record small signals. The purpose of this text is to provide a step-by-step introduction to this technique.

The dynamic field of lithography demands an authoritative handbook for process development and production, and to aid in the training of scientists and engineers. This volume contains process details, recipes, tables, charts, etc., and is useful as a reference book or as a textbook.

To encompass all current methods, this updated handbook has been expanded into two volumes. Volume 2 begins by describing the basic principles and diagnostic applications of optical techniques based on detecting and processing the scattering, fluorescence, FT IR, and Raman spectroscopic signals from various tissues. The second half of the volume discusses specific imaging technologies.

To encompass all current methods, this updated handbook has been expanded into two volumes. Volume 1 features eleven chapters, five of which focus on the fundamental physics of light propagation in turbid media such as biological tissues. The six following chapters introduce near-infrared techniques for the optical study of tissues and provide a snapshot of current applications and developments.

Provides a functional overview of the development of MATLAB code that can be used to enhance and increase one's understanding of optics though the use of visualization tools. The book ties a variety of optical topics to MATLAB programming activities and can act as a supplement to other textbooks or can stand alone.

Presents the electromagnetic properties of both naturally occurring and manmade materials, focusing especially on structured or engineered metamaterials. After a review of Maxwell's equations and material properties, the concepts of resonant meta-atoms and composite media are introduced. The fabrication of metamaterials and the properties of negative-index materials are also explained.

Equips readers with the skills to begin designing, simulating, and fabricating diffractive optics.
