Handbook of Optical Systems is an intuitive, didactically elegant approach to the subject of optical systems and is not competed by any other work on the market. The selected board of authors, all reputed industrial experts, guarantee the timeliness of the well coordinated, coherent chapters. This fourth volume presents a survey of optical systems, based on the principles of image formation, optical system setup and quality control which are covered by the first three volumes. Starting with the human eye, the chapters discuss all systems, from telescopes and binoculars to projection, spectroscopic and illumination systems. All these systems are characterized and described using coherent schemes and criteria to provide readers with a thorough background for their own developments.

From the Back Cover:
The state-of-the-art full-colored handbook gives in six volumes 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 the user is introduced to the basic properties of optical systems, aberration theory, classification and characterization of systems, advanced simulation models, measuring of system quality and manufacturing issues. More than 3,000 full-colored illustrations and images support the reader and supply an easy understanding of complex optical systems and optical modeling.

Volume 1: Fundamentals of Technical Optics
Volume 2: Physical Image Formation
Volume 3: Aberration Theory and Correction of Optical Systems
Volume 4: Survey of Optical Instruments
Volume 5: Metrology of Optical Components and Systems
Volume 6: Advanced Physical Optics

This fourth volume presents a survey of the known different types of optical systems, based on the principles of image formation, aberration control, quality criteria and realization aspects, which are covered in the first three volumes. Starting with the human eye, binoculars, eyepieces and elementary systems, more complex system types, such as photographic lenses, systems for the infrared, zoom setups, microscope optics and telescopes are discussed. Furthermore, special aspects of lithographic projection lenses, relay optical lenses and optical scan systems as well as more general projection systems are outlined. Finally, more specialized aspects are treated, including interferometer optics, auto focus control systems and spectroscopic setups. The various system types are described in a coherent manner to provide readers with a thorough background for their own developments.

About the Author:
Herbert Gross studied physics at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, and joined Carl Zeiss in 1982, where has since been working in the department of optical design. His special areas of interest are the development of simulation methods, optical design software and algorithms, the modeling of laser systems and simulation of problems in physical optics, and the tolerance and the measurement of optical systems. Since 1995, he has been head of the central optical design department at Zeiss. In 1995, he received his PhD at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, on the modeling of laser beam propagation in the partial coherent region.
