About this title

Synopsis

In this book, Rakich provides a fresh look at the Optical Plate Diagram of C. R. Burch, with design examples, descriptions of well-known (and some less well-known) design types, along with some interesting historical background.

The Optical Plate Diagram is a useful tool for conceptualizing the behavior of optical systems. Although Seidel aberration theory provides guidance as to the large-scale behavior of optical systems, the required algebra is sometimes a barrier to the visualization of solutions. By contrast, the diagram describes aberrations with reference to a simple mechanical analog that is in many cases conceptually simpler than Seidel theory.

This book is highly recommended for optical designers seeking to broaden their conceptual understanding of optical systems and aberration theory.

Key features: * Provides a highly intuitive pathway to understanding optical system aberrations. * Claims, then demonstrates by example, the way the Optical Plate Diagram can lead to powerful new design insights. * Structured to render material in each chapter in increasing order of technical difficulty, enhancing accessibility and readability to people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. * Assistance to people new to the field, a fresh perspective to people experienced in the field, and a useful overview to people working in related fields.
