Features: This textbook is a key planning textbook for the 9th Five-Year Plan, approved by the Optical Instruments Teaching Guidance Committee. Applied optics is an important technical foundation 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.), primarily covering geometric 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 fundamental subject in optical engineering, applied optics has also expanded its scope, gradually incorporating certain foundational 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 content, including laser beam optics, fiber optics, infrared optics, and chromatics. Other chapters also strive to integrate advanced achievements in modern optoelectronic instruments. The content of this book includes: fundamental principles of geometric optics, object-image relationships in coaxial spherical systems, the eye and visual optical systems, plane mirror and prism systems, selection of imaging beams in optical systems, and infrared optical systems, among others.
