More About This Title Handbook of Optical Systems V 3 - AberrationTheory and Correction of Optical Systems

English

The state-of-the-art full-colored handbook gives a comprehensive introduction to the principles and the practice of calculation, layout, and understanding of optical systems and lens design. Written by reputed industrial experts in the field, this text introduces the user to the basic properties of optical systems, aberration theory, classification and characterization of systems, advanced simulation models, measuring of system quality and manufacturing issues.

In this Volume

Volume 3 focuses on the treatment of aberration. By deriving and applying image quality criteria, the reader is introduced to techniques to correct his or her optical system for aberrations and to optimize it under the chosen criteria. Thorough treatment is given to gradient and illumination systems as well as to the topic of tolerances. The volume is rounded off with a chapter on the integration of the correction scheme developed into the existing system. Finally the software package OPTALIX is introduced as an advanced solution for integrated quality management of optical systems.

English

Herbert Gross studied physics at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, and joined Carl Zeiss in 1982, where has since been working in the department of optical design. His special areas of interest are the development of simulation methods, optical design software and algorithms, the modeling of laser systems and simulation of problems in physical optics, and the tolerance and the measurement of optical systems. Since 1995, he has been head of the central optical design department at Zeiss. In 1995, he received his PhD at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, on the modeling of laser beam propagation in the partial coherent region.
