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