Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

This comprehensive and self-contained text presents the fundamentals of optical imaging from the viewpoint of both ray and wave optics, within a single volume. Comprising three distinct parts, it opens with an introduction to electromagnetic theory, including electromagnetic diffraction problems and how they can be solved with the aid of standard numerical methods such as RCWA or FDTD. The second part is devoted to the basic theory of geometrical optics and the study of optical aberrations inherent in imaging systems, including large-scale telescopes and high-resolution projection lenses. A detailed overview of state-of-the-art optical system design provides readers with the necessary tools to successfully use commercial optical design software. The final part explores diffraction theory and concludes with vectorial wave propagation, image formation and image detection in high-aperture imaging systems. The wide-ranging perspective of this important book provides researchers and professionals with a comprehensive and rigorous treatise on the theoretical and applied aspects of optical imaging.

Joseph Braat is Emeritus Professor of Optics at Technische Universiteit Delft, The Netherlands, and a Fellow of the Dutch Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences. Previously he was based at the Philips Research Laboratories in Eindhoven where he worked on optical disc systems for video and audio recording and on high-resolution optical lithography. He was Co-Founder of the European Optical Society and his further research interests are diffraction theory, astronomical imaging and optical metrology. Peter Török is Professor of Optical Physics at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and at Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London. His research is focused on the theory of diffraction, focusing and microscopy, with particular emphasis on confocal microscopy, spectroscopic imaging and polarisation. Throughout the years he has taught vector calculus, electromagnetism, optical imaging, and optical design theory.

Reviews for Imaging Optics

'The breadth and depth of material in this book is astonishing. It will be a valuable addition to the bookshelf of any optical scientist with an interest in imaging. Anyone from a new graduate student to an expert with a lifetime of experience will be able to learn something from this text. I could imagine 'Braat and Toeroek' becoming for optical imaging what 'Born and Wolf' is for classical optics.' Martin Booth, University of Oxford
