This book shows how the existing technology of material
characterization can contribute to science and applied technology. The
authors who contributed with this book sought to show the importance of
applying the existing techniques in the development of their works.
This note covers the
following topics: Models in Optics, Scalar Diffraction, Operation of Simple
Lens, Imaging of Extended Objects, Measurement of Imaging Properties,
Examples of Optical Systems, The Photographic Process, Holography,
Holographic Interferomerty, Holographic Applications, Optical Processing,
Spatial Light Modulators and Applications.
This lecture note explains following topics: Basics of optics, Laws
of Reflection and Refraction, Reflection from spherical mirrors, Velocity of
image, Refraction at Plane Surfaces, Prism Theory, Defects of images, Refraction
from curved surfaces.
This lecture note is intended to provide theoretical background to
understand and predict a host of optical phenomena that become possible when
nonlinearity in the optical response of a material is included in the
description. It includes a detailed description of several of these phenomena,
their experimental observation and photonic devices based on them.
