Delivery fee: Select location
This book provides a basic overview of optical principles for non-specialists who find themselves working with optical components and systems. The book assumes a basic background in mathematics, but does not overwhelm with heavy mathematical equations. In addition to basic principles, the book includes applications and worked examples throughout. Each chapter contains a set of suggested experiments to help readers visualize the principles. MATLAB® simulations help readers understand the effects of parameter changes on the outcome. The book also discusses advanced topics.
A Valuable Reference for Understanding Basic Optical Principals
Need a crash course in optics? If you are a non-specialist with little or no knowledge of optical components, systems, or hardware, who suddenly finds it necessary to work with optics in your given field, then Optics Essentials: An Interdisciplinary Guide is the book for you. Aimed at engineers and other interdisciplinary professionals tackling optics-related challenges, this text provides a basic overview of optical principles, concepts, and applications as well as worked examples throughout. It enables readers to gain a basic understanding of optics and sense of optical phenomena, without having to commit to extended periods of study.
Contains MATLAB
®Simulations and Suggested Experiments
The book provides MATLAB simulations to help the reader visualize concepts, includes simple experiments using everyday materials that are readily available to solidify optical principles, and provides worked examples throughout. It contains a set of suggested experiments in each chapter designed to help the reader understand and visualize the basic principles. While this book assumes that the reader has a basic background in mathematics, it does not burden or overwhelm them with complex information or heavy mathematical equations. In addition, while it also briefly discusses advanced topics, readers are directed to the appropriate texts for more detailed study.
