Description for Geometric Optics
Hardback. This book offers a new approach to third-order aberrations theory. It presents the basic elements of third-order aberrations of optical telescopes, along with the necessary mathematical background, to design almost all optical combinations used in astronomy. Series: Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology. Num Pages: 301 pages, 112 black & white illustrations, 56 colour illustrations, 54 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBWH; PGC; TTB; UYM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 18. Weight in Grams: 619.
This text, now in its second edition, presents the mathematical background needed to design many optical combinations that are used in astronomical telescopes and cameras. It uses a novel approach to third-order aberration theory based on Fermat’s principle and the use of particular optical paths (called stigmatic paths) instead of rays, allowing for easier derivation of third-order formulae. Each optical combination analyzed is accompanied by a downloadable Mathematica® notebook that automates its third-order design, eliminating the need for lengthy calculations.
The essential aspects of an optical system with an axis of rotational symmetry are introduced first, along with a development ... Read more

Reviews for Geometric Optics
“This is a comprehensive book on a variety of phenomena and basic elements of geometric optics with application in constructing astronomical optical telescopes. … The clearly written text … is a useful reference not only for professional researchers in the field of geometrical optics but can also be interesting to graduate students and teachers at college level.” (Vladimir Čadež, zbMATH ...
