Optical Systems Engineering

A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO OPTICAL SYSTEM DESIGN and DEVELOPMENT<br><br> <br><i>Optical Systems Engineering</i> emphasizes first-order, system-level estimates of optical performance. Building on the basic principles of optical design and engineering, the book uses numerous practical examples to illustrate the essential, real-world processes such as requirements analysis, feasibility and trade studies, subsystem interfaces, error budgets, requirements flow-down and allocation, component specifications, and vendor selection. Filled with detailed diagrams and photographs, this is an indispensable resource for anyone involved in developing optical, electro-optical, and infrared systems. <br><i>Optical Systems Engineering</i> covers:<br><ul> <li>Systems engineering </li><li>Geometrical optics </li><li>Aberrations and image quality </li><li>Radiometry </li><li>Optical sources </li><li>Detectors and focal plane arrays </li><li>Optomechanical design</li></ul>
