Description
This is the first book to provide a comprehensive survey of optical systems. Principles of Modern Optical Systems gathers information from the diverse fields of signal processing, sensors, semiconductor lasers, photodiodes, field access technologies, optical fiber sensors, remote sensing, acousto-optic signal processing, and analog and digital processing, in a concise text written by experts on current systems and trends in optoeletronics. With 352 figures, 297 equations, 11 tables, and extensive references, this text uses just enough math to reinforce an understanding of the technology. This text is designed to reach all levels of readers from graduate students and engineers to industry executives and marketers.
