"The millimetre-wavelength region of the electromagnetic spectrum is increasingly exploited for a wide range of commercial, industrial, and military applications. Conventionally, this region is considered as lying ""above"" microwaves and ""below"" the infrared. Hence, in practi…
Advances in optical form and coordinate metrology
Advances in Optical Form and Coordinate Metrology covers the latest advances in the development of optical form and coordinate measuring instruments plus the manipulation of point cloud data. The book presents some basic principles of the optical measurement methods and takes a …
The nature of light -- Photometry -- Reflection & refraction -- Simple optical instruments -- Microscope and telescope -- The photographic camera -- Appendix -- Conventions and notations.
This first volume of the series Lectures in Optics serves to introduce the simplest optical phenomena and the simplest optical instruments. Rectilinear propagation, reflection, and refraction dominate optical effects in nature and are essential to understanding the function of s…
This book gives a comprehensive overview on the principles of optical imaging. The first seven chapters provide an extensive summary of optical design, as well as the mechanisms and interrelations leading to the formation of aberrations and the accompanying decrease in imaging p…
Advances in Optical Surface Texture Metrology covers the latest advances in the development of optical surface texture measuring instruments. Rather than concentrate on the basic principles of the optical measurement methods, this book takes a deeper dive into the operation of t…
