Field Guide to Geometrical Optics

Aimed at the practicing engineer or scientist, this spiral-bound field guide provides quick reference to basic information about geometrical optics. Coverage includes, for example, Gaussian reduction, paraxial optics, first-order optical system design, illumination, chromatic effects, and monochromatic aberrations. The appendices provide supplemental material on such topics as radiometry, photographic systems, and ophthalmic terminology. Greivenkamp teaches optical engineering at the U. of Arizona.
