Description

The expanded 4th edition of this classic optics text is aimed at those wishing to apply their knowledge of optics to engineering problems, and provides�a sound introduction to the basic principles of optics for engineering students. It describes fundamental material including�Fourier optics,�diffraction theory,�geometrical optics, and lenses, and goes on to cover important topics such as optical signal processing, holography, tomography, optical�communication, electro- and acousto-optic devices, integrated optics,�3D imaging�and�optical distance measurement.� Comprehensively updated throughout, this new edition features a major additional section on optical measurement techniques, including chapters�on scanning methods, structured light�pattern projection methods, depth measurement�using a microscope,�coherent as well as incoherent�interferometry and distance mapping using CCD cameras.� Fully illustrated, the text includes numerous practical examples, together with worked exercises and end-of-chapter problem sets. From the reviews of the third edition: “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.” – Optics and Photonics NewsTypham this is the title: Engineering Optics 4th Edition
