Fourier Series and Optical Transform Techniques in Contemporary Optics: An Introduction

An extensively illustrated introduction to Fourier transform methods containing 280+ figures which demonstrate in 3-space the numerous basic functions of optical diffraction and imaging. Covers the mathematical terminology for wave phenomena with emphasis on spatial frequency terms. The relationship between Fraunhofer diffraction by two-dimensional functions, the Fourier transform in 3-space and use of the convolution theorem are among the subjects discussed.
