Overview

An indispensable treatment of optical signal processing—now in a convenient paperback edition

This introduction to optical signal processing offers an unparalleled look at its underlying theory and selected processing applications. Designed as both a senior-level undergraduate or first-year graduate-level textbook and a reference for professionals working in the field, Optical Signal Processing begins with a clear, methodical look at the fundamentals of optical signal processing, forming a firm foundation for a discussion of the field's ever-evolving technological breadth. Beginning with the second half of the book, special emphasis is given to processing wide bandwidth signals in real time by using acousto-optic technology.

Complete with detailed study problems that test the limits of students' knowledge, this comprehensive text forms a complete one-volume account of the theory and applications of optical signal processing. Professional engineers and physicists will find the sheer breadth of up-to-date coverage and detail of Optical Signal Processing provides them with an indispensable treatment of this influential technology.

Editorials

Booknews

An introduction to the theory of optical signal processing with descriptions of selected processing applications, intended for use both as a senior/graduate-level textbook and as a reference for workers in optical signal processing. The focus is on processing two- dimensional signals such as images or one-dimensional signals that are functions of time. The processing operations are most often linear integral operations such as spectrum analysis or correlation; some nonlinear adaptive operations are also discussed. Annotation c.
