Description

Excellent study provides detailed account of the Hamiltonian treatment of aberration theory in geometrical optics. Important for design of laser cavities, electron optics, crystal physics, other areas. Author deals in logical progression with many classes of optical systems, defined in terms of the symmetries they possess. Mathematical prerequisites relatively low. Problems at the end of each chapter accompanied by detailed solutions at the back of the book. 1970 edition.
