Master Optical Techniques (Wiley Series in Pure and Applied Optics)

A practical, step-by-step development of the techniques and operations involved in the fabrication of prisms, lenses, and aspherical optical elements, using a sequential approach through each step from selection and testing of optical material to the polishing and testing of the finished work. Divided into four parts and covers: Fundamental Operations; Fabrication of Prisms and Lenses; Telescope Systems; and Optical Testing. Extensive illustrations.
