Best optics book ever
A MUST READ !!!
Great review for Ophthalmologists
Aimed at the exam taker As alearning tool it is also lacking, with little detail or helpfuldiagrams. However, as a study tool, this review should serve the student well if he/she had a real reference from which to learn.That is, in fact, what it markets itself to be -- a last minute study review -- so no false advertising here.

Learn about Fiber Optics Fast!
Excellent overview of fiber optic technology
Excellent introduction to Fiber Optics
Best Overall Review of Fiber Optics The book was laid out logically, and did a good job of building on knowledge explained in previous chapters.There were one page summaries at the tale of each chapter, which were helpful in allowing you to either skip or skim the text. The glossary at the end of the book was especially useful, as was the end chapter on future trends within the industry.The book was a quick read, and once I had finished it I felt comfortable engaging in a discussion with people much more accomplished in the field than myself. ...

Great Section on Nobel Prize Winner, Charles K. Kao!
Comprehensive explanation of the story of Fober Optics
Comprehensive History of Fiber Optics
Good explanation of "where it all came from" I would particularly recommend the book tofiber optic techies - it really makes the technology more meaningful whenyou understand how the technology developed.A fine job by a good writer -very close to five stars. And if you're technically oriented and wantmore knowledge of fiber optic technology, I'd recommend "OpticalNetworks" by Ramaswami and Sivarajan.

20. Principles of Adaptive Optics, Third Edition (Series in Optics and Optoelectronics) by Robert Tyson | |

Editorial Review Product Description Since the publication of the second edition of Principles of Adaptive Optics, the developments and applications in this area have increased tremendously. Observatories are now producing outstanding science through adaptive optics technology; components, such as micromachined deformable mirrors and very low noise detectors, are revolutionizing the field; and the industrial and medical arenas are harnessing the capabilities of adaptive optics tools in free-space laser communications, laser-induced fusion, and retinal imaging. Although the complexity of these applications has intensified, the principles essentially remain the same. Principles of Adaptive Optics, Third Edition offers a comprehensive guide to the systems, components, and processes of adaptive optics. It covers the principles used to extract information from beams of light and improve the performance of optical systems by correcting distortions and aberrations. Condensing the vast array of literature into one accessible source, this edition incorporates recent developments and adds many new references. It discusses how the principles are applied to astronomical imaging systems, retinal imaging, and beam propagation systems. The book logically progresses from determining the sources of aberrations to designing and analyzing systems to describing major subsystems, such as wavefront sensors, correction devices, wavefront reconstruction, and real-time controls. |
