Introduction to Applied Optics for Engineers introduces the reader to applied optics and presents ideas on coherent optical data processing. Topics covered include applications and approximations for radiation fields; physical realizations of phase transformers, lenses, and systems; applications of optical filtering to data processing; and partial coherence. Several examples from bioengineering-related research are provided. This book is comprised of 10 chapters and begins with an introduction to the basic equations of physical optics that are derived using the wave treatment approach, resulting in the simpler geometrical (ray) optics approximation. The differential form of Maxwell's equations is considered, along with propagation in free space and Fermat's principle. The following chapters explore applications and approximations for radiation fields, with emphasis on Fraunhofer fields, circular and multiple apertures, and phase effects in apertures; physical realizations of phase transformers, lenses, and spherical and parabolic surfaces; and system transform concepts including Fourier transform representation of fields and calculation techniques for imaging through a lens. The remaining chapters focus on interface devices, interferometry, holography, and scattering. This monograph is intended for students and engineers with a traditional background in electromagnetic wave theory.

The first edition of this textbook was published only last year, and now, the publisher has decided to issue a paperback edition. This is intended to make the text more affordable to everyone who would like to broaden their knowledge of modem problems in optics. The aim of this book is to provide a basic understanding of the impor tant features of the various topics treated. A detailed study of all the sub jects comprising the field of engineering optics would fill several volumes. This book could perhaps be likened to a soup: it is easy to swallow, but sooner or later heartier sustenance is needed. It is my hope that this book will stimulate your appetite and prepare you for the banquet that could be yours. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those readers, especially Mr. Branislav Petrovic, who sent me appreciative letters and helpful com ments. These have encouraged me to introduce a few minor changes and improvements in this edition.

Applied Optics and Optical Engineering, Volume VII discusses the developments and improvements in some areas of applied optics. This book contains eight chapters that tackle the concepts, techniques, and process vital to optical engineering design. This book deals first with the luminous properties and spectral radiance of incoherent light sources, followed by an overview of plastic optical components. The subsequent chapters describe the refractive and reflective characteristics of various optical materials, such as optical glass, crystals, and vitreous silica glass. These topics are followed by a discussion on the macro- and micro-image properties and signal-to-noise transfer during photographic recording, which are crucial to the proper utilization of photographic materials in optical applications. This volume further provides the tools required for the analysis of the propagation of laser beams. A chapter explores the scalar and vector scattering theories for light scattering calculation of correlated surface microirregularities. The final chapter emphasizes the significant role of adaptive optical techniques for wave-front correction and removal of deleterious phase perturbations. This book will be greatly appreciated by applied scientists and optical engineers.

The following is a text taught to engineering and applied science students at the NYU Tandon (Polytechnic) School of Engineering in 2017 and 2018. The course met for four hours a week during one fourteen week semester. Unlike other texts in Modern Optics this text is intended to be used by students in both engineering and applied science at a junior or senior level, and to support specialized interdisciplinary applied optics courses given at a graduate level, such as Bio-Optics. By introducing it in the junior year students with interest arrive fresh from their introductory physics courses. The course emphasizes fundamentals starting with Maxwell's equations, which is where the introductory physics sequence ends, and applies these fundamentals to current interests in applied science and technology. Appropriate to the level of the course, the mathematics represents Maxwell's Equations in their integral form. Where advanced math was added (e.g. Fourier Transform), the students were introduced to this as if taught in an applied math course.Take-home Experiments: There are also take-home laboratory experiment assignments dispersed within the text, and requiring a small inventory of parts (e.g. transmission diffraction grating, red laser pointer, aspheric lens, 1" diameter acrylic sphere, and dye solution). With these parts and common things found around a typical home, 9 experiments are assigned to support the concepts taught in the course. One of these involves turning a Smart phone into a microscope. Another turns a Smart phone into a spectrometer, and a third uses the phone as a photometer.Applications: Some of the many applications discussed are Optical Tweezers, Holographic Diffraction Grating, Demystifying the structure of DNA from Rosalind Franklin's X-ray diffraction image (Photo 51), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), nano-plasmonics, Fabry-Perot resonator, Whispering Gallery Mode sensor, LASER, Confocal microscope, and Super high-resolution microscopy (STED).
