"This book provides a practical description of optics that
satisfies the needs often encountered by some engineers in the
practice of their profession. Optical components, including optical
sources and detectors, have found their way into products that we
buy for the house, and into industrial equipment. As a textbook, it
provides an efficient tool for the student to gain in-depth
knowledge of a subject, with homework problems to test and verify
mastery of the subject." -Antonio Sanchez-Rubio, MIT Lincoln
Laboratory, Lexington, Massachusetts, USA "This book covers all the
experimental tools, described meticulously and with clear
illustrations, which students will need to perform their
experiments. I wish I had this book when I taught an optics
course!" -A.K. Ramdas, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana,
USA This book provides readers with a brief introduction to optical
components. Materials presented in this book prepare readers to
deal with optical components in the areas of optics and optical
technology. Introduction to Optical Components features nine
chapters with topics ranging from lenses (materials, magnifiers,
and cameras); mirrors (spherical, ellipsoidal, and aberrations);
diffraction gratings (holographic and multilayer dielectric);
polarizers (birefringent, reflective, and Jones matrix algebra);
windows (UV and AR coating materials); filters (neutral density and
Raman); beamsplitters (plate, cube, and pellicle); sources
(light-emitting diodes and lasers); and detectors (thermal, photon,
and photodetector noise). This text also features a detailed
discussion of non-ideal effects for practical components using
minimal amounts of derivations (that do not compromise essential
physical, mathematical, or material properties). While there are
numerous books that feature "optical" in their title, to date, no
textbook on optical components exists. It is for this reason that
Introduction to Optical Components is such a vital resource. The
technical level of this book is equivalent to an undergraduate
course in the optics and optical technology curriculum. Students
are required to have little familiarity with optics. Practitioners
in optics and optical technology will also find this book useful.
Each chapter includes numerous mathematical equations; tables
providing useful optical parameters for many optical materials; and
end-of-chapter questions and their corresponding solutions.
