This text provides a number of concepts, definitions, and tools useful to students who wish to develop a basic understanding of colorimetry and color vision. Those who have experience in the field will find a compendium of data and other information previously unavailable in a single publication. Numerous references provide a considerable bibliography for readers looking to deepen their knowledge of this fascinating subject. Contents - Preface - The Nature of Color - Light Sources and Illuminants - Trichromatic Theory - CIE Color Specification System - Uniform Color Systems - Color Mixtures and Colorants - Color Measurements - The Human Eye - General References - Index

Fringe scanning techniques, now renamed heterodyning or phase shift interferometry, are covered in a completely rewritten chapter. New chapters have been added to cover wavefront fitting and evaluation as well as holographic and Moire methods. The chapter on parameter measurements has been completely rewritten and an appendix added suggesting appropriate tests for typical optical surfaces.

Product Description: In this day of digitalization, you can work within the technology of optics without having to fully understand the science behind it. However, for those who wish to master the science, rather than merely be its servant, it's essential to learn the nuances, such as those involved with studying fringe patterns produced by optical testing interferometers...read more

Product Description: Esta segunda edición, considerablemente corregida y aumentada, está escrita para estudiantes de física, ingeniería, optometría o cualquier otra carrera conectada directa o indirectamente con la óptica, una de las ramas más antiguas de la física, que ha tenido un resurgimiento muy rápido en los últimos años...read more

This handbook explains principles, processes, methods, and procedures of optical engineering in a concise and practical way. It emphasizes fundamental approaches and provides useful formulas and step-by-step worked-out examples to demonstrate applications and clarify calculation methods. The book covers refractive, reflective, and diffractive optical components; lens optical devices; modern fringe pattern analysis; optical metrology; Fourier optics and optical image processing; electro-optical and acousto-optical devices; spatial and spectral filters; optical fibers and accessories; optical fabrication; and more. It includes over 2,000 tables, flow charts, graphs, schematics, drawings, photographs, and mathematical expressions.

Product Description: El fin principal de los autores es ofrecer una descripción somera de la historia del telescopio hasta llegar a los complejos aparatos que se usan hoy en día. El telescopio -dicen los autores- dio al hombre una sensación de poder al permitirle observar lo que sucedía a distancias enormes...read more
