Download or read book Introduction to Modern Optics for Students in Engineering and Applied Science written by Stephen Arnold and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following is a text taught to engineering and applied science students at the NYU Tandon (Polytechnic) School of Engineering in 2017 and 2018. The course met for four hours a week during one fourteen week semester. Unlike other texts in Modern Optics this text is intended to be used by students in both engineering and applied science at a junior or senior level, and to support specialized interdisciplinary applied optics courses given at a graduate level, such as Bio-Optics. By introducing it in the junior year students with interest arrive fresh from their introductory physics courses. The course emphasizes fundamentals starting with Maxwell's equations, which is where the introductory physics sequence ends, and applies these fundamentals to current interests in applied science and technology. Appropriate to the level of the course, the mathematics represents Maxwell's Equations in their integral form. Where advanced math was added (e.g. Fourier Transform), the students were introduced to this as if taught in an applied math course.Take-home Experiments: There are also take-home laboratory experiment assignments dispersed within the text, and requiring a small inventory of parts (e.g. transmission diffraction grating, red laser pointer, aspheric lens, 1" diameter acrylic sphere, and dye solution). With these parts and common things found around a typical home, 9 experiments are assigned to support the concepts taught in the course. One of these involves turning a Smart phone into a microscope. Another turns a Smart phone into a spectrometer, and a third uses the phone as a photometer.Applications: Some of the many applications discussed are Optical Tweezers, Holographic Diffraction Grating, Demystifying the structure of DNA from Rosalind Franklin's X-ray diffraction image (Photo 51), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), nano-plasmonics, Fabry-Perot resonator, Whispering Gallery Mode sensor, LASER, Confocal microscope, and Super high-resolution microscopy (STED).

Download or read book Modern Optics Simplified written by Robert D. Guenther and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-09-18 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook reduces the complexity of the coverage of optics to allow a student with only elementary calculus to learn the principles of optics and the modern Fourier theory of diffraction and imaging. Students majoring in sciences or engineering and taking a standard physics course on optics will find this text useful. Examples of a variety of applications dependent on optics allow the student to connect this course to their particular field of interest. Topics covered include aberrations with experimental examples, correction of chromatic aberration, explanation of coherence and the use of interference theory to design an antireflection coating. Fourier transform optics and its application to diffraction and imaging, use of Gaussian wave theory, and fiber optics make the text of interest to those in electrical and bioengineering as well as physics and medical science. The text includes hundreds of photos, figures and diagrams to provide readers with strong visual insights into optics. More difficult, optional topics are highlighted throughout, and the need for experience with differential equations and extensive use of vector theory are avoided by using a one dimensional theory where possible. Maxwell's equations are introduced only to determine the properties of a light wave, and the boundary conditions are introduced to characterize reflection and refraction. Most discussion is limited to reflection. The book also introduces Fourier transforms as they are needed in the discussion of diffraction and imaging.

Download or read book Contemporary Optics written by A. Ghatak and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the advent of lasers, numerous applications of it such as optical information processing, holography, and optical communication have evolved. These applications have made the study of optics essential for scientists and engineers. The present volume, intended for senior under graduate and first-year graduate students, introduces basic concepts neces sary for an understanding of many of these applications. The book has grown out of lectures given at the Master's level to students of applied optics at the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi. Chapters 1-3 deal with geometrical optics, where we develop the theory behind the tracing of rays and calculation of aberrations. The formulas for aberrations are derived from first principles. We use the method in volving Luneburg's treatment starting from Hamilton's equations since we believe that this method is easy to understand. Chapters 4--8 discuss the more important aspects of contemporary physical optics, namely, diffraction, coherence, Fourier optics, and holog raphy. The basis for discussion is the scalar wave equation. A number of applications of spatial frequency filtering and holography are also discussed. With the availability of high-power laser beams, a large number of nonlinear optical phenomena have been studied. Of the various nonlinear phenomena, the self-focusing (or defocusing) of light beams due to the nonlinear dependence of the dielectric constant on intensity has received considerable attention. In Chapter 9 we discuss in detail the steady-state self-focusing of light beams.

Download or read book Optics and Lasers written by M. Young and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of optics has changed greatly in the past dozen years or so. Partly because of the applied or engineering nature of much of modern optics, there is need for a practical text that surveys the entire field. Such a book should not be a classical-optics text, but, rather, it should be strong on principles, applications and instrumentation, on lasers, holography and coherent light. On the other hand, it should concern itself relatively little with such admittedly interesting phenomena as the formation of the rainbow or the precise deter mination of the speed of light. My purpose, therefore, has been to write an up-to-date textbook that surveys applied or engineering optics, including lasers and certain other areas that might be called modern optics. I have attempted to treat each topic in sufficient depth to give it considerable engineering value, while keeping it as free of unnecessary mathematical detail as possible. Because I have surveyed applied optics in a very general way (including much more than I would attempt to incorporate into any single college course), this book should be a useful handbook for the practicing physicist or engineer who works from time to time with optics. Any of the material is appropriate to an introductory undergraduate course in optics; the work as a whole will be useful to the graduate student or applied scientist with scant background in optics.

Download or read book Modern Geometrical Optics written by Richard Ditteon and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1997-11-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From basic terms and concepts to advanced optimization techniques-a complete, practical introduction to modern geometrical optics Most books on geometrical optics present only matrix methods. Modern Geometrical Optics, although it covers matrix methods, emphasizes y-nu ray tracing methods, which are used most commonly by optical engineers and are easier to adapt to third-order optics and y-??? diagrams. Moving by logical degrees from fundamental principles to advanced optical analysis and design methods, this book bridges the gap between the optical theory taught in introductory physics texts and advanced books on lens design. Providing the background material needed to understand advanced material, it covers important topics such as field of view, stops, pupils and windows, exact ray tracing, image quality, and optimization of the image. Important features of Modern Geometrical Optics include: * Examples of all important techniques presented * Extensive problem sets in each chapter * Optical analysis and design software * Chapters covering y-??? diagrams, optimization, and lens design This book is both a primer for professionals called upon to design optical systems and an ideal text for courses in modern geometrical optics. Companion Software Special lens design and analysis software capable of solving all problems presented in the book is available via Wiley's FTP site. This software also serves as an introduction to the use of commercial lens design software. Appendix C is a user's manual for the software.
