Optical Systems Engineering

<h4>A practical guide to optical system design and development</h4><p><i>Optical Systems Engineering</i> emphasizes first-order system-level estimates of optical performance. Building on the basic principles of optical design and engineering the book uses numerous practical examples to illustrate the essential real-world processes such as requirements analysis feasibility and trade studies subsystem interfaces error budgets requirements flow-down and allocation component specifications and vendor selection. Filled with detailed diagrams and photographs this is an indispensable resource for anyone involved in developing optical electro-optical and infrared systems.</p><p><i>Optical Systems Engineering</i> covers:</p><ul> <li>Systems engineering</li><li>Geometrical optics</li><li>Aberrations and image quality</li><li>Radiometry</li><li>Optical sources</li><li>Detectors and focal plane arrays</li><li>Optomechanical design</li></ul>
