Book Description

Publication Date: October 29, 1999 | ISBN-10: 3540662626 | ISBN-13: 978-3540662624 | Edition: 1

Optical microscopy and associated technologies have advanced rapidly along with laser technology. These techniques have stimulated further development of the optical imaging theory, including 3-dimensional microscopy imaging theory, the theory of imaging with ultrashort pulsed beam illumination and the aberration theory for high numerical-aperture objectives. This book introduces these new theories in modern optical microscopy, providing comparisons with classical imaging as appropriate.

From the Back Cover

Optical microscopy and associated technologies advanced quickly after the introduction of the laser. The techniques have stimulated further development of optical imaging theory, including 3-dimensional microscopy imaging theory in spatial and frequency domains, the theory of imaging with ultrashort-pulse beams and aberration theory for high-numerical-aperture objectives. This book introduces these new theories in terms of modern optical microscopy. It consists of seven chapters including an introduction. The chapters are organized to minimize cross-referencing. Comparisons with classical imaging theory are made when the new imaging theory is introduced. The book is intended for senior undergraduate students in courses on optoelectronics, optical engineering, photonics, biophotonics and applied physics, after they have completed modern optics or a similar subject. It is also a reference for other scientists interested in the field.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wizard of Optics, October 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Advanced Optical Imaging Theory (Springer Series in Optical Sciences) (Hardcover)

Highly recommended for all optical engineers and student of related field. Even the latest topics, ultra-fast imaging, high NA vector theory, etc are described in plain manner.It is hard to find a better book which treats imaging as a diffraction. Most of Fourier optics text focus on holography or information processing heavily. But, what real optical engineers face diffraction problem most frequently is imaging. This book is a fix for the need.
