Opis

A concise, yet deep introduction to geometrical optics developing the practical skills and research techniques used in modern laboratories.

Recenzje

'This book is unique in that it fills the gap between theory textbooks and laboratory manuals in the field of optics. [The authors] provide descriptions of experiments supported by theoretical explanations of the phenomena responsible ... The text can also be used by instructors looking for a laboratory manual or by optical scientists hoping to hone their experimental skills. It offers valuable advice to those looking to build an optics lab, including guidance on what equipment to purchase, relevant costs, and other practical concerns. Readers are given ideas for practical applications of the knowledge gleaned from experiments for building their own optical devices. The book's online supplements, such as tools to help analyze experiment results, are a major bonus. Overall, this work is an excellent resource for instructors and for optical engineers and scientists, whether in academia or in industry.' S. Tripathi, Choice
