HANSER FACHBUCHVERLAG Optik in Ingenieur- und Naturwissenschaften: Grundlagen und Anwendungen

Optics have become a major driver in the technological development of many fields such as physics, chemistry, medicine, biology and IT technology over the past decades. One speaks of optics as an "enabling technology", because it allows innovation in many areas. Therefore, knowledge in this field is of great importance in academic training in science and technology as well as for many research and development projects. The present optics book is a compact reference book that explains both the physical basics and shows the most important areas of application of optics. Written by experienced university teachers and successful practitioners, it is aimed at students and practitioners of engineering and natural sciences as well as industrial engineers who want to acquire knowledge and competencies in optical technologies. The book comprises two parts, on the one hand the physical basics with many calculated examples and on the other the areas of application in practice. Physical basics: geometric optics, radio and photometry, wave optics, quantum optics, optoelectronics, fibre optics Areas of application: lighting technology, methods and simulation; laser applications, material processing; optical sensors, metrology, spectral apparatus; optical equipment technology, cameras, telescopes, microscopes; imaging methods for materials science and medicine; optical design and simulation, design of complex systems; optical phenomena, optical illusions
