Rezensionen

Optics: An Introduction covers the basics of geometrical and physical optics and serves as an excellent course textbook or self-study accompaniment for college-level students of science and optical technology. Its question-and-answer format, exercises, practical, real-world applications and examples, and supporting mathematical examples and diagrams accompany discussions of different lens systems, pros and cons of their applications, common problems and solutions, and experiments relating to studying these systems. The comprehensive, in-depth approach to topics leaves no gaps in knowledge, including newer technologies such as fiber optics alongside discussions of the latest best practices and applications in the optics industry as a whole."
