Optics Of Diffractive And Gradient Index Elements And Systems

Download or read book Optics of Diffractive and Gradient-index Elements and Systems written by Grigoriĭ Isaevich Greĭsukh and published by SPIE Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of diffractive and gradient-index (GRIN) lenses as components of imaging optical systems has been investigated for several decades. The elements have proved competitive in their unique focusing and aberration properties and in terms of their additional degrees of freedom for optical design. This book systematically examines the physical principles of diffractive and GRIN elements.
