Optics

A comprehensive textbook on optical principles, focusing on Geometrical Optics. Key topics include paraxial optics, matrix methods for refraction and translation, Gaussian and Newtonian formulations, thin lens approximations, exact ray tracing, and the detailed analysis of spherical and third-order aberrations.

A comprehensive handbook covering the principles and applications of optical design. This second edition revises and expands upon the content of the previous work, Handbook of Lens Design (1994), and is part of the Optical Engineering series.

This text describes the fundamental principles of lasers and the propagation and application of laser radiation in bulk and guided wave components. It uniformly analyzes solid state, gas, and semiconductor lasers as macroscopic devices, developing an overall understanding of the coherent nature of laser radiation. The book is suitable for first-year graduates in electrical engineering and physics and serves as a reference on mathematical and analytical techniques used in opto-electronic applications.
