Understanding Optics with Python by Vasudevan Lakshminarayanan,Hassen Ghalila,Ahmed Ammar,L. Srinivasa Varadharajan Pdf

Optics is an enabling science that forms a basis for our technological civilization. Courses in optics are a required part of the engineering or physics undergraduate curriculum in many universities worldwide. The aim of Understanding Optics with Python is twofold: first, to describe certain basic ideas of classical physical and geometric optics; second, to introduce the reader to computer simulations of physical phenomena. The text is aimed more broadly for those who wish to use numerical/computational modeling as an educational tool that promotes interactive teaching (and learning). In addition, it offers an alternative to developing countries where the necessary equipment to carry out the appropriate experiments is not available as a result of financial constraints. This approach contributes to a better diffusion of knowledge about optics. The examples given in this book are comparable to those found in standard textbooks on optics and are suitable for self-study. This text enables the user to study and understand optics using hands-on simulations with Python. Python is our programming language of choice because of its open-source availability, extensive functionality, and an enormous online support. Essentials of programming in Python 3.x, including graphical user interface, are also provided. The codes in the book are available for download on the book’s website. Discusses most standard topics of traditional physical and geometrical optics through Python and PyQt5 Provides visualizations and in-depth descriptions of Python’s programming language and simulations Includes simulated laboratories where students are provided a "hands-on" exploration of Python software Coding and programming featured within the text are available for download on the book’s corresponding website. "Understanding Optics with Python by Vasudevan Lakshminarayanan, Hassen Ghalila, Ahmed Ammar, and L. Srinivasa Varadharajan is born around a nice idea: using simulations to provide the students with a powerful tool to understand and master optical phenomena. The choice of the Python language is perfectly matched with the overall goal of the book, as the Python language provides a completely free and easy-to-learn platform with huge cross-platform compatibility, where the reader of the book can conduct his or her own numerical experiments to learn faster and better." — Costantino De Angelis, University of Brescia, Italy "Teaching an important programming language like Python through concrete examples from optics is a natural and, in my view, very effective approach. I believe that this book will be used by students and appreciated greatly by instructors. The topic of modelling optical effects and systems where the students should already have a physical background provides great motivation for students to learn the basics of a powerful programming language without the intimidation factor that often goes with a formal computer science course." — John Dudley, FEMTO-ST Institute, Besançon, France

Optics Using Python by Daniel Mulkey Pdf

"Optics Using Python equips readers with the programming skills and experience needed to solve nontrivial optics problems using the completely free Python programming language. The book is divided into two parts: (1) a "first-order toolbox" for optical systems and (2) more sophisticated tools "beyond the toolbox." The first part comprises three chapters covering the Python programming language, examples of optics calculations, and data acquisition and processing. The second part consists of two chapters discussing third-party libraries and more-advanced software engineering tools. In contrast to an optics educational text, this book's focus is the synergy of optics with Python. For this reason, the reader is assumed to have some optics knowledge at the level of an undergraduate physics, optics, or electrical engineering department. The book was also written with the practicing engineer in mind, aspiring to provide productivity quickly. To this end, more than 4500 lines of code are available online that accompany the text and provide both instructional examples as well as modeling exercises. Some of these include estimating the resolution of a grating spectrometer, spatial filtering using wave propagation, and the use of Circuit Python to modulate a LED and record data from a lock-in amplifier. Any optics practitioner in search of practical tools for design and lab work will benefit from this book"--

Dynamical Systems with Applications using Python by Stephen Lynch Pdf

This textbook provides a broad introduction to continuous and discrete dynamical systems. With its hands-on approach, the text leads the reader from basic theory to recently published research material in nonlinear ordinary differential equations, nonlinear optics, multifractals, neural networks, and binary oscillator computing. Dynamical Systems with Applications Using Python takes advantage of Python’s extensive visualization, simulation, and algorithmic tools to study those topics in nonlinear dynamical systems through numerical algorithms and generated diagrams. After a tutorial introduction to Python, the first part of the book deals with continuous systems using differential equations, including both ordinary and delay differential equations. The second part of the book deals with discrete dynamical systems and progresses to the study of both continuous and discrete systems in contexts like chaos control and synchronization, neural networks, and binary oscillator computing. These later sections are useful reference material for undergraduate student projects. The book is rounded off with example coursework to challenge students’ programming abilities and Python-based exam questions. This book will appeal to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, applied mathematicians, engineers, and researchers in a range of disciplines, such as biology, chemistry, computing, economics, and physics. Since it provides a survey of dynamical systems, a familiarity with linear algebra, real and complex analysis, calculus, and ordinary differential equations is necessary, and knowledge of a programming language like C or Java is beneficial but not essential.

Nonlinear Optics: a Student's Perspective by Mark G. Kuzyk Pdf

*** Note to instructors. This book is available free of charge as an eBook on Perusall, the peer discussion forum. *** This unique textbook on nonlinear optics is written by award-winning teacher and researcher, Regents Professor Mark G. Kuzyk of Washington State University. It is ideal for a class or as a reference, and can be used for self study. Exercises are provided as material is introduced to reinforce concepts. The book's approach mirrors the author's philosophy that a firm grounding in the fundamentals will allow the student to tackle any topic. As such, many topics are left out while others are covered in depth to develop the intuition. Physics is meant to be savored, so this book should be consumed slowly with attention to the deeper meaning of the topics presented. The rest will naturally fall into place. Material not normally discussed in standard textbooks that is covered here includes the introduction of second quantization and how it can be applied to Feynman-like diagrams for calculating nonlinear susceptibilities. Dirac notation is introduced to facilitate the development of the theory with finesse. This approach provides a pictorial representation of light-matter interactions that leads to a more intuitive understanding of phenomena such as difference frequency generation, cascading and stimulated emission. An introduction to Python programming and solving simple numerical problems is briefly presented to get the student up to speed. In addition to unique problem sets that are not typically assigned in a course on nonlinear optics, a series of numerical problems are provided to both hone coding skills (the student can code in any language) and shed light on problems that have no analytical solution. Other unique topics covered are magnetic susceptibilities, nonlinear optics at negative absolute temperature, epsilon near zero materials, surface plasmons in various spatial dimensions, aperiodic nonlinear gratings to control the effective nonlinearity, nonlinear optics of single molecules, self-consistent methods for treating cascading as a local field and an in-depth derivation of optical multi-stability. This book is a total overhaul of "Lecture Notes in Nonlinear Optics: a student's perspective." Previous material is extensively augmented and rewritten for clarity and lots of new material has been added. While this newer book tries to take a student's perspective, it does not have the same raw narrative as the previous volume. Being so different in approach and content, it should be considered a new book rather than an updated edition of the previous one. If the more polished approach is not your thing, then go for the older book, which will remain available indefinitely.

Optics of the Human Eye by David A. Atchison Pdf

This book describes the optical structure and optical properties of the human eye. For ease of reference, the most commonly useful topics are at the beginning and topics with narrower appeal are placed towards the end. The book is divided into five sections, covering: Basic optical structure of the eye, including the refracting components, the pupil, axes, and simple models of the eye Image formation and refraction of the eye, including refractive errors, measurement, and correction Interactions between light and the eye, considering transmission, reflection, and scatter in the media and at the fundus Aberrations and retinal image quality Depth-of-field and age-related changes in the optics of the eye There have been many developments in the field of visual optics since the first edition was published in 2000. There have been advances in instrumentation for imagery, biometry, and aberrations of the eye. The refraction anomaly of myopia has increased in prevalence throughout the world, and is getting increasing attention because of its association with ocular pathology in the middle and later years of life. Ocular aberrations are now considered in terms of Zernike polynomials rather than Taylor polynomials. Aberrations can be manipulated to better understand their effects on visual performance to improve imagery of the retina for the betterment of diagnosis of various ocular conditions, and to treat the progression of myopia in children. To deal with these developments, the section on aberrations and retinal image quality has undergone considerable revision. This book will be an invaluable purchase for all those with an interest in vision, such as optometrists, ophthalmologists, vision scientists, optical physics, and student of visual optics. An understanding of the optics of the human eye is particular important to designers of ophthalmic diagnostic equipment and visual optical systems such as telescopes.

Contemporary Holography by C. S. Narayanamurthy Pdf

This book is unique in covering most of the developments on optical holographic techniques since holography’s invention in 1947 by Dennis Gabor. Starting from conventional holography with photopolymer recording techniques to CCD(Charge Coupled Device)-based digital holography, this book covers the spectrum of contemporary holographic techniques. The first chapter deals with conventional holographic methods using photographic plates in both in-line Gabor holography and off-axis holography. Then the second chapter covers principle and experimental techniques of the Conoscopic holography technique, and the third chapter deals with Computer generated holography. The fourth chapter discusses basic principles of dynamic holography using photorefractive crystals where the theory and experiments show how the photorefractive effect is used for dynamic recording of holograms. The fifth and sixth chapters extensively discuss the fundamentals of digital holography and unconventional coherence holography. In digital holography, two types of phase shifting methods which are dynamic and geometric phase shifting digital holographic techniques are elaborated with practical examples. Then, in the sixth chapter, the unconventional coherence holographic method describes a new holography using incoherent light sources. This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate-level students, as well as researchers looking for a complete resource in holography techniques.

The Holodeck by Michael Cloran Pdf

This book is about a requirements specification for a Holodeck at a proof of concept level. In it I introduce optical functions for a optical processor and describe how they map to a subset of the Risc-V open instruction set. I describe how parallelism could be achieved. I then describe a possible layered approach to an optical processor motherboard for the datacenter and for a personal Holodeck. I describe Volumetrics in brief and show how its evolution to Holodeck volumetrics could be done with bend light technology and the possibility of solidness to touch. I describe in detail the architecture of a Holodeck covering several approaches to Holodecks from static scene to scrolling scene to multi-user same complex to networked multi-user Holodecks.
