About this ebook
This textbook is devoted to the fundamentals of optical system design and analysis.
It is part of series on applied optics covering the math and theory of the Optical phenomena.
This book starts wilh short overview of the wave optics and transitions to the theory of geometric optics and its limitations. It is self-contained and only basics of Fourier optics are covered that relate to applications and design of optical and imaging systems. The third chapter covers concepts of simple imaging systems. The last fourth chapter, discusses the theory of third order aberrations.
The text is more appropriate for researchers, grad students, undergrad students, with interests in the realm of Optics. The series is written in language that is accessible for large audience, however, calculus is highly recommended as it goes in depth discussing the topics.
It does not cover the use of specific raytracing software for optimization.
