Stray light is defined as unwanted light in an optical system, a
familiar concept for anyone who has taken a photograph with the sun
in or near their camera's field of view. In a low-cost consumer
camera, stray light may be only a minor annoyance, but in a
space-based telescope, it can result in the loss of data worth
millions of dollars. It is imperative that optical system designers
understand its consequences on system performance and adapt the
design process to control it. This book addresses stray light
terminology, radiometry, and the physics of stray light mechanisms,
such as surface roughness scatter and ghost reflections. The
most-efficient ways of using stray light analysis software packages
are included. The book also demonstrates how the basic principles
are applied in the design, fabrication, and testing phases of
optical system development.
