The opening chapters of this advanced textbook derive the three laws of geometrical optics, the Gaussian and Newtonian imaging equations for a refracting surface using Snell’s law, the Gaussian imagin
Advances in optics technology are driving the current revolution in the field of astronomy. After introducing optical science as the study of the generation, propagation, control, and measurements of
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
