This handbook explains principles, processes, methods, and procedures of optical
engineering in a concise and practical way. It emphasizes fundamental approaches
and provides useful formulas and step-by-step worked-out examples to demonstrate
applications and clarify calculation methods. The book covers refractive,
reflective, and diffractive optical components; lens optical devices; modern
fringe pattern analysis; optical metrology; Fourier optics and optical image
processing; electro-optical and acousto-optical devices; spatial and spectral
filters; optical fibers and accessories; optical fabrication; and more. It
includes over 2,000 tables, flow charts, graphs, schematics, drawings,
photographs, and mathematical expressions.
