Overview
This renowned text applies the powerful mathematical methods of fourier analysis to the analysis and synthesis of optical systems. These ubiquitous mathematical tools provide unique insights into the capabilities and limitations of optical systems in both imaging and information processing and lead to many fascinating applications, including the field of holography.3rd Edition also Now Available

Booknews
Deals with the application of Fourier analysis in optics, particularly in diffraction, imaging, optical data processing, and holography. Early chapters review necessary mathematical background, then cover scalar diffraction theory, Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction, wave- optics analysis of coherent optical systems, frequency analysis of optical imaging systems, wavefront modulation, analog optical information processing, and holography. Includes chapter problems and background appendices. Can be used as a text for advanced students and researchers in physics and engineering, especially for a one-quarter or one-semester course in diffraction and image formation, basics of Fourier optics, and holography. This second edition is expanded to reflect progress in the field since 1968. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
