Bøker av Max J. Riedl

Offers an introduction to optics and optical fabrication that provides technicians with simple explanations supported by illustrations and diagrams. The behaviour and performance of optical elements as individual components and as members of complete systems are discussed and evaluated. Detailed examples and calculations are included.

The author has expanded the information found in his practical 1995 tutorial. Achromats are covered in more detail, with an updated discussion of beam expanders. Ball lens, gradient optics, and three mirror configurations have been added to the chapter on Special Optical Surfaces and Components.
