Infrared Optics and Zoom Lenses by Allen Mann Pdf

This Tutorial Text is an outgrowth of the author's short course of the same title. It is intended as an introduction to readers unfamiliar with infrared zoom lenses, and as an aid to the practising engineer pursuing a related application. The first three chapters introduce the principles of optics and the unique aspects of the infrared region of the wavelength spectrum, with related optical design techniques addressed in Chapter 4. Chapters 5 through 8 present material unique to the subject of zoom lenses in the infrared. The appendix contains three landmark infrared zoom lens patents in their entirety, providing lens prescription data and a starting point for future design activity, in addition to the author's computer analysis of the three patents.

Fundamentals of Infrared Detector Materials by Michael A. Kinch Pdf

The choice of available infrared (IR) detectors for insertion into modern IR systems is both large and confusing. The purpose of this volume is to provide a technical database from which rational IR detector selection criteria evolve, and thus clarify the options open to the modern IR system designer. Emphasis concentrates mainly on high-performance IR systems operating in a tactical environment, although there also is discussion of both strategic environments and low- to medium-performance system requirements.

The Power- and Energy-handling Capability of Optical Materials, Components, and Systems by Roger M. Wood Pdf

Annotation There is a maximum power and energy that you can put into or transmit through your optical system; in many cases, this maximum is well below the laser-induced damage threshold. This tutorial explains the factors and constraints that limit the power- and energy-handling capability of optical materials, components, and/or systems. Because the lasers coming off the production lines are much more stable, efficient, and controlled than in the past, today's engineers often do not have the insight into the technology as was required of first-generation laser engineers. However, important insights into the use and performance of the laser and optical systems can be lost unless we remind ourselves at periodic intervals of the problems our predecessors had to face.

Diffractive Optics by Donald C. O'Shea Pdf

This book provides the reader with the broad range of materials that were discussed in a series of short courses presented at Georgia Tech on the design, fabrication, and testing of diffractive optical elements (DOEs). Although there are not long derivations or detailed methods for specific engineering calculations, the reader should be familiar and comfortable with basic computational techniques. This text is not a 'cookbook' for producing DOEs, but it should provide readers with sufficient information to assess whether this technology would benefit their work, and to understand the requirements for using the concepts and techniques presented by the authors.

This text presents several new thin-film design methods that can produce multiple stopbands as well as passbands. It is written for thin-film designers and students with advanced knowledge of multilayer, optical thin-film coatings. The text focuses on coatings that have high reflectance performance requirements in more than one spectral wavelength band or region. Relatively basic exercises are provided for students as well as challenging ones for researchers.
