Why hand grinding and polishing? In a world of CNC machines, 3D shaping printers and mills, why would anyone need to work by hand? Advanced technologies require inflexible fixturing. Working by hand means your fingers become those fixtures. Intuition is the adaptable program used to reach the specified goal. Hand grinding and polishing is the ......

With Applications in Optical Wave Propagation and Imaging in Turbulence
The objective of this textbook is twofold-to introduce advanced novel mathematical techniques and then to use them to solve a variety of problems that may arise in various applications. The novel mathematical techniques, covered in Part I of the text, involve the use of generalized hypergeometric functions, including the Meijer G-function. We ......
This book describes the author's experience in the process of moving from child to scientist. Duncan T. Moore calls Greenler an "Ambassador for Science" and writes in the foreword that "he has done more than many Nobel Prize winners to bring the excitement of science and engineering to everyone." This book is a personal account that will be read ......

The proper selection of mediums in designing certain photonic components plays an important role in achieving on-demand electromagnetic behavior that can be exploited for on-demand applications. Configuring the medium itself significantly impacts the electromagnetic features of the design as a whole. Engineered mediums can be conceptualized by the ......
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 ......
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. ......
