Boreman G.D. Basic Electro-Optics for Electrical Engineers

The Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 1998. - 105 p. - This book is an outgrowth of a short course frequently given over the past ten years for The International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE). Basic opticalengineering concepts are covered in a manner accessible to anyone with a preparation equivalent to a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. Students with backgrounds in mechanical engineering, technology, and management have also taken the course successfully. Introduces imaging, radiometry, sources, detectors, and lasers, with special emphasis on flux-transfer issues. The first-order approach enables students to make back-of-the-envelope calculations needed for initial set-up of optical apparatus. Intended for students and newcomers to electro-optics.
