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 ......

A Volume Dedicated to Charles Hard Townes on His 80th Birthday
This collection of essays by students, colleagues and admirers of Charles Hard Townes - who shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1964 - seeks to reflect his wide interests and influence, ranging from quantum optics to astrophysics, and from electrical engineering to medicine.
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 ......
Computational optical imaging uses electromagnetic signals in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, and x-ray wavelength ranges to characterize remote objects. This text explains how to create mathematical forward models describing tomographic, holographic, ptychographic, and photographic imaging systems. It describes image estimation algorithms, ......

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 ......
