Book Description,
Volume II of the Handbook of Optics is a continuation of Volume I.
It starts with optical system design and covers first-order layout, aberration curves, design software, specifications and tolerances, component mounting, stray light control, and thermal compensation techniques. Optical fabrication and testing are discussed next. A new chapter on the use of orthonormal polynomials in optical design and testing has been added. Such a polynomial representing balanced astigmatism is illustrated on the cover. The section on sources includes different types of lasers, laser stabilization, laser theory, and a discussion of ultrashort laser sources. Light-emitting diodes including the new “high-brightness” LEDs are presented. Artificial sources of light for both the laboratory and field are described along with a discussion of light standards calibration. The section on detectors includes high-speed and thermal detectors along with an analysis of signal detection. Imaging using film, detector arrays, and image tubes is discussed. This volume ends with a section on radiometry and photometry. Two new chapters have been added in this area. One is on spectroradiometry and the other is on lighting and applications.
