This includesfundamental aspects, technical aspects (such as fabricationtechniques and materials) and characterisation andperformance. With and increase in the number of integrated optical componentsand devices emerging from the research laboratories to the marketplace an up-to-date book is essential in collecting, summarizingand presenting the new developed photonic devices.

Comprehensive and up-to-date, Modern Optical Engineering features: The latest information on optical engineering theory, design, and practice Over 150 detailed illustrations New to this edition: new coverage of ray tracing, optical system design, and third-order aberration theory new lens designs new optical design software and new problems and exercises Inside This Updated Optical Engineering Classic * Image formation * Aberrations * Prisms and mirrors * The eye * Stops and apertures * Optical materials * Interference coatings * Radiometry and photometry * Basic optical devices * Optical systems * Ray tracing * Third-order aberration theory * Image evaluation * Design of optical systems * 44 lens designs * Optics fabrication and testingĪll integrated optical components and devices make use of"waveguides", where light is confined by total internal reflection.The elements in such "photonic chip" are interconnected throughwaveguides, and also the integrated optics components themselvesare fabricated using waveguide configuration, such as couplers,switches, modulators, multiplexors, amplifiers and lasers, etc.These components are integrated in a single substrate, thusresulting in a compact and robust photonic device, which can beoptically connected through optical fibres. Smith, this state-of-the-art guide provides unsurpassed coverage of image formation, basic optical devices, image evaluation, fabrication and testing methods, and more. Written by the renowned optical scientist Warren J. The Fourth Edition now contains cutting-edge information on optical engineering theory, design, and practice, including new chapters on ray tracing, optical system design, and third-order aberration theory.

Long-established as the definitive optics text and reference, Modern Optical Engineering has been completely revised and updated to equip you with all the latest optical and lens advances.
