Opis: Optics Essentials - Araz Yacoubian

A Valuable Reference for Understanding Basic Optical Principals Need a crash course in optics? If you are a non-specialist with little or no knowledge of optical components, systems, or hardware, who suddenly finds it necessary to work with optics in your given field, then Optics Essentials: An Interdisciplinary Guide is the book for you. Aimed at engineers and other interdisciplinary professionals tackling optics-related challenges, this text provides a basic overview of optical principles, concepts, and applications as well as worked examples throughout. It enables readers to gain a basic understanding of optics and sense of optical phenomena, without having to commit to extended periods of study. Contains MATLAB(R) Simulations and Suggested Experiments The book provides MATLAB simulations to help the reader visualize concepts, includes simple experiments using everyday materials that are readily available to solidify optical principles, and provides worked examples throughout. It contains a set of suggested experiments in each chapter designed to help the reader understand and visualize the basic principles. While this book assumes that the reader has a basic background in mathematics, it does not burden or overwhelm them with complex information or heavy mathematical equations. In addition, while it also briefly discusses advanced topics, readers are directed to the appropriate texts for more detailed study. Comprised of 11 chapters, this illuminating text: * Describes light sources, such as lasers, light-emitting diodes, and thermal sources * Compares various light sources, and photometric and radiometric parameters * Discusses light detection, including various detector types, such as photon detectors and thermal detectors, and other topics relating to light detection * Addresses manipulation of light, and covers reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference, absorption, and scattering * Factors in polarization * Explores the basic principles of geometrical optics, covering ray tracing and formulation based on the assumption that light comprises of optical "rays" * Defines imaging systems and topics related to imaging systems * Refers to guiding light waves * Considers various topics related to optics, electronics, software, and applications * Covers combining optical systems with electronics and software * Presents various optical sensing phenomena and different types of sensors Optics Essentials: An Interdisciplinary Guide simplifies optical principles to make it easy to grasp by technical professionals that are outside of the optical field, and serves industry professionals, technical managers, researchers, and students. "Optical technology is essential in many applications in medicine, communication, imaging and even in such a unique field as secure document and currency forensics and authentication. Because humans strongly rely on their sense of sight, quite often a non-optical engineer considers optics as something "obvious". They simplify or completely ignore the complexity of the physics of optics and optical phenomena. A basic comprehensive optics book linking application to physics of optics is going to be very helpful." -Dr. Tomasz Jagielinski, Cummins Allison CorporationOptical Systems and Components Descriptions References Light Sources Lasers (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) Light-Emitting Diodes Selecting Light Sources Conversion from Radiometric to Photometric Quantities Conversion from Photometric to Radiometric Quantities Thermal Sources Blackbody Radiation References Light Detection Photon Detectors Thermal Detectors Noise in Photodiodes Photodetectors for Low-Light Level Detection Integrating Spheres for Light Measurement Lock-In Amplification for Detecting Low-Light Level Signals Detector Figures of Merit Detectivity Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference Spectrometers References Manipulation of Light Reflection Reflection from Flat Mirror Refraction Reflection Coefficient at Dielectric Interface Diffraction Diffraction Gratings Interference Absorption Diffusers and Scattering Small Particle Scattering Large Particle Scattering Application of Diffusers Suggested Experiments References Polarization Polarizers Birefringence, Retardation, and Wave Plates Polarized Light Reflection Polarization of Small Particle Scattering Suggested Experiments References Geometrical Optics Ray Tracing Methods Lens Maker's Formula Thin Lens Formulation Ray Tracing Formulation Graphical Method of Ray Tracing Principal Plane Method Matrix Method of Ray Tracing Sign Conventions Beam Shaping from Laser Diode References Imaging Systems Optical Resolution Two-Dimensional Imaging Systems One-Dimensional Imaging Systems; Line Scan Sensors Stops Monochromatic Aberrations Chromatic Aberrations Various Types of Illumination Coherent Illumination Incoherent or Partially Coherent Illumination Point Source and Diffuse Illumination and Multiangle Illumination References Guiding Lightwaves Light Guiding and Total Internal Reflection Fiber Optics Planar Waveguides and Integrated Optics Coupling Between Fibers and Waveguides Active Integrated Optical Devices Suggested Simulations Suggested Experiments References Optics, Electronics, Software, and Applications Combining Optics, Electronics, and Software Separating Optical and Electronics Effects Applications Optical Sensing Optical Sensors and Sensing Mechanism Sensing Change in Light Intensity Sensing Change in Absorption Change in Color (Wavelength) Change in Refractive Index Interferometric Optical Sensors Some Applications of Interferometry Sensing Change in Polarization Angle Polarization-Dependent Reflection Polarimetric-Based Electric and Magnetic Sensors Sensing by Detecting Changes in Diffraction Angle or Wavelength Spectral Sensing of Temperature Sensing Fluorescence Emission Sensing Fluorescence Lifetime Holography-Based Sensors Surface Plasmon Based Sensors Fiber Optic Sensors Intensity Detection Fiber Optic Sensors Evanescence Field Fiber Optic Sensors Fiber-Grating Sensors Michelson and Mach-Zehnder Interferometric Fiber Optic Sensors Sagnac Interferometer Fiber Optic Sensors for Rotation Sensors Integrated Optical Sensors Imaging Sensors Starting Point to Design or Choose a Sensing System References Advanced Experiments References Advanced Topics References Appendices Index
