Engineering Optics (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

The first edition of this textbook was published only last year, and now, the publisher has decided to issue a paperback edition. This is intended to make the text more affordable to everyone who would like to broaden their knowledge of modem problems in optics. The aim of this book is to provide a basic understanding of the impor tant features of the various topics treated. A detailed study of all the sub jects comprising the field of engineering optics would fill several volumes. This book could perhaps be likened to a soup: it is easy to swallow, but sooner or later heartier sustenance is needed. It is my hope that this book will stimulate your appetite and prepare you for the banquet that could be yours. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those readers, especially Mr. Branislav Petrovic, who sent me appreciative letters and helpful com ments. These have encouraged me to introduce a few minor changes and improvements in this edition.

Autor

Dr Keigo Iizuka is Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto and a Fellow of the Optical Society of America. He was born in Kobe, Japan, and he began his university studies at Kyoto University. He completed his Ph. D at Harvard University, where he also worked for a short while as a research fellow and a lecturer. For the past thiry-five years, he has been a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto. His research interests have evolved over the years. He began with studies of the properties of antennas, microwave measurements, and microwave holography. These studies served as the foundation for subsequent projects such as the development of an ice surveying radar and a step frequency radar. With the advent of the laser, his studies shifted to the optical frequency range, where once again, his previous work on microwave phenomena served as an excellent foundation for the transition to optical phenomena. In the field of optics, his research includes optical measurement and sensor technology, fiber and integrated optics, the analysis of nonlinear guides, the invention of laser microvision and the Axi-Vision Camera, and 3D displays.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the third edition:

"...contains 15 richly illustrated chapters and very well selected exercises and problems. It is intended not only for the physics and engineering students who want to acquire the basic principles of optics, but also for researchers and engineers who use optics in their research and/or professional activity. For all these people, this book will be a valuable source of scientific information. ..." Optica Applicata

"Iizuka managed to intermingle lively and exciting ideas, humorous and enthusiastic presentations, eye-catching and tasteful cartoons, significant backbone optics materials and even some frontier state-of-the-art optics information. I did not have a dull moment reading this book. It has a very attractive style: educational, yet entertaining...."

IEEE Circuits and Devices Magazine

"I found this book most helpful in demonstrating an effective teaching approach that was especially suited for engineering students. ... The examples and problem sets at the each chapter are also helpful to students and instructors ... . Overall, it is a delightful book, and I would definitely recommend it to students starting out on the path of exploring optical technologies and educators who want to enlighten young engineers fascinated by optics."
