Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
A book that has stood the test of time, it has been used in colleges and universities for more than 25 years.
The text is highly regarded as the primary text in its field.
Contains the most comprehensive coverage of any book in the field, including linear systems background, diffraction background, and applications to imaging, optical information processing, and holography.
The largest number of problems and exercises of any book on the market.
New appendices on geomoetrical optics and polarization optics (B & C).
New Chapter 7 on Wavefront Modulation.
New discussions of various subjects in optical information processing, including invariant pattern recognition (8.7), image restoration (8.8), acousto-optic signal processing (8.10), and discrete optical processors (8.11).
New discussions of various topics in holography, including volume holographic gratings (9.7), modern recording materials (9.8), computer-generated holograms (9.9), and new applications of holography (9.12.4, 9.12.5, 9.12.6).
