Engineering Optics is a book for students who want to apply their knowledge of optics to engineering problems, as well as for engineering students who want to acquire the basic principles of optics. It covers such important topics as optical signal processing, holography, tomography, holographic radars, fiber optical communication, electro- and acousto-optic devices, and integrated optics (including optical bistability). Practical examples, such as the video disk, the Fresnel zone plate, and many more, appear throughout the text, together with numerous solved exercises. There is an entirely new section in this updated edition on 3-D imaging.

The expanded 4th edition of this classic optics text is aimed at those wishing to apply their knowledge of optics to engineering problems, and provides a sound introduction to the basic principles of optics for engineering students. It describes fundamental material including Fourier optics, diffraction theory, geometrical optics, and lenses, and goes on to cover important topics such as optical signal processing, holography, tomography, optical communication, electro- and acousto-optic devices, integrated optics, 3D imaging and optical distance measurement.
Comprehensively updated throughout, this new edition features a major additional section on optical measurement techniques, including chapters on scanning methods, structured light pattern projection methods, depth measurement using a microscope, coherent as well as incoherent interferometry and distance mapping using CCD cameras.
Fully illustrated, the text includes numerous practical examples, together with worked exercises and end-of-chapter problem sets.
From the reviews of the third edition:
"Iizuka managed to intermingle lively and exciting ideas, humorous
and enthusiastic presentations, eye-catching and tasteful cartoons,
significant backbone optics materials and even some frontier
state-of-the-art optics information. I did not have a dull moment
reading this book. It has a very attractive style: educational, yet
entertaining...."
- IEEE Circuits and Devices Magazine
"I found this book most helpful in demonstrating an effective teaching
approach that was especially suited for engineering students. ...
The examples and problem sets at the each chapter are also helpful
to students and instructors .... Overall, it is a delightful book, and I
would definitely recommend it to students starting out on the path of
exploring optical technologies and educators who want to enlighten
young engineers fascinated by optics."

Dr Keigo Iizuka is Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto and a Fellow of the Optical Society of America. He was born in Kobe, Japan, and he began his university studies at Kyoto University. He completed his Ph. D at Harvard University, where he also worked for a short while as a research fellow and a lecturer. For the past thiry-five years, he has been a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto.
His research interests have evolved over the years. He began with studies of the properties of antennas, microwave measurements, and microwave holography. These studies served as the foundation for subsequent projects such as the development of an ice surveying radar and a step frequency radar. With the advent of the laser, his studies shifted to the optical frequency range, where once again, his previous work on microwave phenomena served as an excellent foundation for the transition to optical phenomena. In the field of optics, his research includes optical measurement and sensor technology, fiber and integrated optics, the analysis of nonlinear guides, the invention of laser microvision and the Axi-Vision Camera, and 3D displays."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
