This
book gives a comprehensive overview of the principles of optical imaging. The
first seven chapters provide an extensive summary of optical design, as well as
the mechanisms and interrelations leading to the formation of aberrations and
the accompanying decrease in imaging performance. Aside from the fundamentals
of optics and imaging models, topics covered include calculations of simple
optical components and systems, characterisation and quantification of aberrations
and defects in optical systems, and optimisation of imaging performance. The
second part focuses on problem-based learning via multiple exercises and case
examples derived from the first seven chapters. It is an ideal guide for optics
and photonics students.

This is a book on optical lens design, mainly covering the basics of optical system design. Theory is discussed along with practical approaches for solving particular imaging situations. Several case studies also help to illustrate the fundamentals. The reader will gain an understanding of the purposes for many different types of lenses and how to use them to design an optical system.
This book would interest those wanting to learn how to design optical lens systems. It contains the fundamentals to get a beginner designing their own system. The related software is very helpful to get started.
