Features: This book first systematically discusses the fundamentals of optical engineering, including the basic laws of geometrical optics, paraxial optics, mirrors and prisms, aperture and diaphragms, ray and aberration calculations, radiation and photometry, optical materials, image detection and recording, and typical optical systems. The purpose is to lay a foundation for the design of optical and optoelectronic instruments. Secondly, it provides an in-depth explanation of the basic concepts of aberrations, primary aberration theory, and image quality evaluation. The focus of the book is on research methods for optical system design and certain new areas of modern optical engineering, with a particular emphasis on zoom optics, optical processing of synthetic aperture radar data, X-ray imaging optics, optical systems in laser applications, and refractive-reflective systems. Combined with engineering practice, specific design examples are presented, such as the optical processor for synthetic aperture radar, large-aperture refractive-optical theodolite, grazing incidence X-ray imaging system, coded aperture imaging system, Fourier transform lens, and laser scanning system. The aim is to enable readers to gain a deep understanding of the development of modern optical engineering and to independently undertake the design of overall and sub-systems for optical and optoelectronic instruments.
