{"product_id":"optical-path-theory-1788440483854","title":"Optical Path Theory","description":"Optical Path Theory: Fundamentals to Freeform Adaptive Optics focuses on the potential \nto find analytical close form solutions using optical path theory to solve and design \nadaptive optics systems. With a thorough introduction to the subject, the first chapters of the book explore the three main axioms implemented in optical path theory: The Fermat \nPrinciple, Snell’s law, and the Malus-Duplin theorem. \nAfter the main axioms are presented, the book moves into exploring optical systems in the \nplane. The refractive mirror, refractive surface, lens, and the transfer function lens are \ndiscussed. Step-by-step equations are provided with each of these various systems to plot \ntheir waves, putting emphasis on the mathematical derivations and showing a variety of \nexamples.\nAs the various systems continue to be explored, they are generalized to three dimensions. \nPresented step-by-step mathematically, the generalization to three dimensions focuses on \nthe key steps on each derivation. Theses generalizations are richer and lead to freeform \nshapes which are explored in detail. \nMathematica codes for all the examples in the book are provided. With a step-by-step \nmathematical presentation of concepts, this book is complete with details, problems, \nsolutions, and a multitude of useful examples.","brand":"Rafael G González-Acuña","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56197615157540,"sku":"9780750347075","price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.co.uk\/products\/optical-path-theory-1788440483854","provider":"IndiePubs UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
