Fourier Series and Optical Transform Techniques in Contemporary Optics

An Introduction

For anyone new to Fourier methods, this remarkable book will illuminate the subject like no other currently available. With over 280 illustrations generated by computer graphics, it depicts in 3-space (rather than the usual 2-space) the many basic functions of optical diffraction and imaging. These mind-stretching visualizations give the reader an enhanced understanding of both Fourier transform techniques and key principles in optics. At the same time, the author provides a lucid...
