Applied Optics and Optical Design, Parts One and Two

Description

This book presents a complete system of optical design. It leads the reader step by step from the fundamental concepts of geometrical and physical optics up to the point where they can design simpler optical systems without aid. Part One covers all ordinary ray-tracing methods, together with the complete theory of primary aberration and as much of higher aberration as is needed for the design of telescopes, low-power microscopes, and simple optical systems. Part Two offers systematic study and design of practically all types of optical systems. This classic work remains the only detailed treatment of subject for practical designer.
