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 ......
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 ......
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 ......
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 ......
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 ......
Diffraction and background-limited operation at room temperature is the ultimate goal of the infrared physicist. The achievement of this goal is strongly dependent on the hybridization technology utilized in bonding the IR focal plane array to the Si ROIC. To this end, this book describes a disruptive architecture in the field of hybridization ......
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 ......
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, ......
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 ......
