Understanding Surface Scatter Phenomena: A Linear Systems Formulation deals with surface scatter phenomena that continue to be an important issue in diverse areas of science and engineering in the 21st century. Scattering effects from microtopographic surface roughness are merely non-paraxial diffraction phenomena. After reviewing the historical ......
Survey investigations, with the end goal of monitoring the entire celestial sphere, have become a priority in astronomy. This book is the first monograph devoted to wide-field telescopes, intended to bridge the gap between astronomers and professional opticians. It emphasizes the deep connection between classical and new telescopes, as well as the ......
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 ......
This newest edition of Principles of Lithography reflects the continuing advancement of lithographic technology. In recent years, certain topics, such as line-edge roughness (LER), multi-electron-beam writers, and nonlinear overlay models, have become much more significant to practicing lithographers, and more extensive treatments are therefore ......
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 ......

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 ......
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 ......
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. ......
