Features: This textbook is a key planning textbook for the 9th Five-Year Plan, approved by the Teaching Guidance Committee for Optical Instruments. Applied Optics is a fundamental technical subject in optical engineering. Its traditional concept refers to the theory and design of optical systems in classical optical instruments (such as telescopes, microscopes, cameras, projectors, etc.), with its content primarily focused on geometrical optics and wave optics. With the rapid development of the optical discipline, such as the emergence and widespread application of lasers, the advancement of fiber-optic communication and optoelectronic imaging technologies, and the integration of optics with computer technology, optical instruments have undergone a significant transformation from traditional to modern. As a foundational subject in optical engineering, applied optics has also expanded in scope, gradually incorporating certain fundamental contents of modern optics. To meet this evolving demand, this book not only introduces traditional topics such as Gaussian optics and the basic principles of optical instruments but also covers foundational modern optical subjects like laser beam optics, fiber optics, infrared optics, and colorimetry. Additionally, the content and examples and exercises in other chapters strive to integrate advanced achievements in modern optoelectronic instruments.
