Handbook of optical systems / Volume 3. Aberration theory and correction of optical systems

The state-of-the-art full-colored handbook gives a comprehensive introduction to the principles and the practice of calculation, layout, and understanding of optical systems and lens design. Written by reputed industrial experts in the field, this text introduces the user to the basic properties of optical systems, aberration theory, classification and characterization of systems, advanced simulation models, measuring of system quality and manufacturing issues. In this Volume Volume 3 focuses on the treatment of aberration. By deriving and applying image quality criteria, the reader is introduced to techniques to correct his or her optical system for aberrations and to optimize it under the chosen criteria. Thorough treatment is given to gradient and illumination systems as well as to the topic of tolerances. The volume is rounded off with a chapter on the integration of the correction scheme developed into the existing system. Finally the software package OPTALIX is introduced as an advanced solution for integrated quality management of optical systems.

Computer aided process engineering (CAPE) tools have been very successfully used in process design and product engineering for a long time. In particular, simulation and modelling tools have enabled engineers to analyse and understand the behaviour of selected processes prior to building actual plants.

The aim of design or retrofit of chemical processes is to produce profitably products that satisfy the societal needs, ensuring safe and reliable operation of each process, as well as minimising any effects on the environment. This involves the conceptual design or retrofit of plants and processes, novel manufacturing approaches, process/control system design interactions and operability, manufacturability, environmental and safety issues.

Backed by current studies, this 2-volume set gives a comprehensive survey of the various approaches and latest developments on the use of CAPE in the process industry.

An invaluable reference to the scientific and industrial community in the field of computer aided process and product engineering.

La 4e de couverture indique : "Optical systems have a wide range of technical applications (e.g. viewing devices, lens systems) and uses in industrial manufacturing. And while the design of optical systems requires a high level of expertise, there is, to date, no resource available, which allows beginners to learn optical design. This state-of-the-art handbook, written by reputed industrial experts, provides a comprehensive introduction to designing optical systems, combining for the first time theoretical aspects of optical modeling with applications of practical optical design. With more than 3,000 full-colored illustrations and images, here is an essential reference for the optical industry as well as universities of applied sciences."
