This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years have passed since the publication of the first edition of this classic text in April 2001. Considerable new material amounting to 100 pages has been added in this second edition. Each chapter now contains a Summary section at the end. The new material in Chapter 4 consists of a detailed comparison of Gaussian apodization with a corresponding beam, determination of the optimum value of the Gaussian radius relative to that of the pupil to yield maximum focal-point irradiance, detailed discussion of standard deviation, aberration balancing, and Strehl ratio for primary aberrations, derivation of the aberration-free and defocused OTF, discussion of an aberrated beam yielding higher axial irradiance in a certain defocused region than its aberration-free focal-point value, illustration that aberrated PSFs lose the advantage of Gaussian apodizaton in reducing the secondary maxima of a PSF, and a brief description of the characterization of the width of a multimode beam. In Chapter 5, the effect of random longitudinal defocus on a PSF is included. The coherence length of atmospheric turbulence is calculated for looking both up and down through the atmosphere. Also discussed are the angle of arrival of a light wave propagating through turbulence, and lucky imaging where better-quality short-exposure images are selected, aligned, and added to obtain a high-quality image.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the author's lectures at the University of Southern California, where he teaches a graduate course in optical imaging and aberrations, this volume provides an understanding of how aberrations arise in optical systems and how they affect imaging. Emphasis is placed on the primary aberrations of simple optical systems as a foundation for the design of more complex and high image-quality systems. Each chapter ends with a set of problems. A separate volume (Volume 2) treats imaging based on diffraction. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book Aberration Theory Made Simple written by Virendra N. Mahajan and published by SPIE Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a clear, concise, and consistent exposition of what aberrations are, how they arise in optical imaging systems, and how they affect the quality of images formed by them. The emphasis of the book is on physical insight, problem solving, and numerical results, and the text is intended for engineers and scientists who have a need and a desire for a deeper and better understanding of aberrations and their role in optical imaging and wave propagation. Some knowledge of Gaussian optics and an appreciation for aberrations would be useful but is not required.
