This book is a guide to teaching optics and photonics through inquiry-based investigations that use inexpensive and easily found supplies. It is intended for anyone who is providing informal STEM education or community outreach. The investigations in this book are easy to modify and can also be used in a traditional classroom or in a homeschool ......
In this second edition of Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography, coverage is maintained on the fundamental aspects of EUV lithographic technology for topics such as exposure tools, light sources, masks, resists, process control, metrology, and computational lithography. Lithography costs, which have often influenced areas of technical focus, are also ......
This book concisely presents the basics of modern optical engineering. The contents cover geometrical optics, wave optics, and Gaussian beam optics. Various optical components, devices, and instruments are described, with emphasis on several types of imaging lenses. Optical system performances, particularly lens image quality, are discussed. ......
This book is an outgrowth of a short course that the author has presented for SPIE for the past 25 years or so on the fundamentals of infrared sensing. This field spans several technical disciplines, which can leave the beginner with the "where do I start?" question. The selection of the material included here represents those concepts and ......
Illumination is a crucial element in many applications, matching the luminance of the scene with the operational range of a camera. When luminance cannot be adequately controlled, a high dynamic range (HDR) imaging system may be necessary. These systems are being increasingly used in automotive on-board systems, road traffic monitoring, and other ......
Proceedings of SPIE present the original research papers presented at SPIE conferences and other high-quality conferences in the broad-ranging fields of optics and photonics. These books provide prompt access to the latest innovations in research and technology in their respective fields. Proceedings of SPIE are among the most cited references ......
Microwave photonics is a rapidly growing field that lies at the intersection of microwave engineering and optics. The integration of photonics and microwave engineering has opened up new possibilities for high-speed communication, radar and sensing systems, and signal processing applications. This book contains both the basic theory and the ......
Optical Design of Eyewear Displays is the first comprehensive resource dedicated to the optical engineering of modern augmented- and virtual-reality eyewear. It combines the core principles of geometrical and physical optics with practical design insight, showing how theory translates into the function and form of modern eyewear displays. Covering ......
Optical lithography is one of the key technologies in the fabrication of microchips. This book gives an account of modern lithography during the first half of the 2020s, when high-NA extreme-ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) was being introduced. Central to the book is a comprehensive description of the effects that impact the quality of the optical ......
