1968 Introduction To Fourier Optics Quantum ~ McGraw Hill JW Goodman (Hardcover)

Description: From the estate of a 1950s 1960s nasa engineer whose name is marked on the inside cover who lived here in New Orleans. Book has water damage. PREFACE In writing this book I have attempted to organize a text on optics which is specifically directed toward electrical engineersAs the reader may know, several excellent books devoted to the application of Fourier analy- sis and linear systems concepts in optics already exist. However, it has been my experience that these previous books are best suited for physi- cists, who are already rather familiar with the principles of classical optics, but perhaps less familiar with the mathematical techniques which are now so fruitfully applied in the modern theory of image formation. Electrical engineers, on the other hand, are very familiar with the mathe- matical techniques through their extensive exposure to network analysis, but are relatively weak in the principles of classical optics. It therefore seemed reasonable to present the principles of optics to electrical engineers in a manner which makes maximum use of the mathematical tools already at their disposal. Thus Fourier analysis and linear systems theory provide the foundation on which the theory of image formation, optical data processing, and holography are constructed. The book originated as a set of class notes for a one-quarter course on Fourier Optics in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. The students were, for the most part, in their first or second year of graduate study. As the volume of material grew with successive revisions of the notes, it became more and more difficult to cover all the material in the 30 lectures of a single quarter. Consequently, in later versions of the course I have found it necessary to omit (or at best treat only briefly) the following sections: 2-3, 3-5, 3-6, 4-3, 6-6, 7-7, and portions of 8-8 and 8-9. For a course running a full semester, all the material can probably be included. I am grateful to many people for their help and encouragement in this endeavor. Perhaps my deepest debt is to the members of the Radar and Optics Laboratory staff at the University of Michigan, who through their publications and through personal contact stimulated my interest in optics and greatly influenced my point of view. More specific debts are owed to A. E. Seigman and N. Abramson, who provided early encourage…
