Publisher's Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product.A complete optical systems design course for general optical engineers!The 'first cut' design of an optical system anything from a telescope to a complicated VR helmet is usually not done by a specialist but by a more general optical engineer. This book details the basic design principles and techniques for doing so in a clear, concise, 'lowmath' way that such generalists will readily understand and appreciate. Practical, stepbystep coverage includes succinct equations, simple diagrams, and clear explanations. The chapter on selecting stock lens (to test a concept or to prove out a possible finished device) should be especially useful.
