More About This Textbook
Overview
Fourier analysis is a ubiquitous tool that has found application to diverse areas of physics and engineering. This book deals with its applications in optics, and in particular with its applications to diffraction, imaging, optical data processing, holography and optical communications.
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"Goodman's Introduction to Fourier Optics explains scalar wave propagation and transfer functions that are essential for understanding the performance of imaging and other optical systems. It also covers several advanced topics. This is the clearest and best-written textbook I have ever read."
—James R. Fienup, Robert E. Hopkins Professor of Optics, University of Rochester
"Introduction to Fourier Optics provided me with my first introduction to this exciting field more than 30 years ago. Over the years it has continued to serve as a teaching resource, a reference book and a source of insights and inspiration for launching new research directions. Its clarity of presentation has set a gold standard for technical books possibly in all fields."
—Ravi Athale, DARPA
"Joe Goodman's wonderful book on Fourier Optics is like a good wine. It keeps getting better and better."
—Demetri Psaltis, California Institute of Technology
Booknews
Deals with the application of Fourier analysis in optics, particularly in diffraction, imaging, optical data processing, and holography. Early chapters review necessary mathematical background, then cover scalar diffraction theory, Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction, wave- optics analysis of coherent optical systems, frequency analysis of optical imaging systems, wavefront modulation, analog optical information processing, and holography. Includes chapter problems and background appendices. Can be used as a text for advanced students and researchers in physics and engineering, especially for a one-quarter or one-semester course in diffraction and image formation, basics of Fourier optics, and holography. This second edition is expanded to reflect progress in the field since 1968. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Product Details
