Applied Optics and Optical Engineering, Volume 11

This volume contains a variety of topics of interest to nearly all optical engineers. Leading authors provide chapters detailing optical modeling, fast Fourier transforms and their applications, basic wavefront aberration theory, the use of spot diagrams for interpretating aberrations, opto-mechanical design, and waveguide gratings. While the chapters are written so a novice in the field can gain an understanding, enough advanced material is included to be of interest to an expert.
