Optics
Molded Optics Design and Manufacture
Optics for Engineers
Michael Schaub, Jim Schwiegerling, Eric Fest, R. Hamilton Shepard, and Alan Symmons
Charles A. DiMarzio Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
While several available texts discuss molded plastic optics, none provide information on all classes of molded optics. Filling this gap, Molded Optics presents detailed descriptions of molded plastic, glass, and infrared optics. Since an understanding of the manufacturing process is necessary to develop cost-effective, producible designs, the book extensively covers various manufacturing methods, design guidelines, trade-offs, best practices, and testing of critical parameters. It also discusses topics that often arise when designing systems with molded optics, such as mitigating stray light and mating systems by eye. The authors draw on their considerable knowledge and real-world experiences to give a thorough account of the design and manufacture of molded plastic, glass, and infrared optics. The book will help readers improve their ability to develop systems that employ molded optics. • Covers all molded optics, not just injection molded plastic optics • Enables a detailed understanding of the manufacturing processes and methods used to produce molded optics—critical to the design and development of a successful molded optical system • Discusses visual optics and stray light, which are often overlooked during the design of optical systems and can be important considerations for systems using molded optics
Selected Contents: Optical Design. Visual Optics. Stray Light Control for Molded Optics. Molded Plastic Optics. Molded Glass Optics. Molded Infrared Optics. Testing Molded Optics. Index. Catalog no. K11536, April 2011, 272 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4398-3256-1, $129.95 / £82.00

Third Edition
Zenghu Chang
Robert Tyson
University of Central Florida, Orlando, USA
University of North Carolina, Charlotte, USA
“… written clearly and in a very comprehensive manner. … This book is an invaluable source of knowledge for students or scientists who want to learn about this new domain of optics.”
“The third edition continues to set the same standards, but it has been brought right up to date in terms of the available hardware and the growing literature of this rapidly advancing field. … The key areas of the subject are dealt with in comprehensible terms … a standard work for those interested in the field and needing a point of reference. … the book will give [readers] a great deal of help in finding the route through this world of smoke and bendy mirrors.”
—Daniela Dragoman, Optics & Photonics News, February 2012
“Dr. Chang’s book is truly amazing: One of the leading researchers of the field finds the time to write a book that covers the most important aspects of attosecond technology and physics. … Having this book available at this early stage of attosecond science is immensely helpful … .” —Gerhard G. Paulus, Texas A&M University and Max Planck Institute of Optics and Quantum Electronics
“Definitely a must-have in any ultrafast optics lab!” —Pascal Salières, CEA-Saclay
—R.S. Shorter, Contemporary Physics, 52, 2011
“This completely revised and updated third edition retains the strengths of the original text. Everyone involved in AO should have a copy on the shelf, and like the original, the extensive list of references provides an excellent pointer to the original literature.” —Christopher Dainty, National University of Ireland
This book’s coverage builds from basic underlying theory to more complex ideas related to attosecond optics. It shows how the generation of attosecond optical pulses requires knowledge of femtosecond laser technologies but is also quite distinct from femtosecond laser technologies. The author elaborates on this point using semiclassical models and quantum mechanics theories. He explains the generation of attosecond pulse train and gating methods for extracting single isolated pulses and presents illustrative examples of attosecond applications.
With over 900 references that encompass recent papers, major contributions, and seminal papers, this third edition offers a comprehensive guide to the systems, components, and processes of adaptive optics. It covers the background and history of adaptive optics technology and highlights applications in astronomy, communication systems, and medical imaging. It also details important equations for atmospheric turbulence, optical compensation, and laser guide stars.
