Geometric, Physical, and Visual Optics: 2ed
- Completely revised and updated, you will benefit from new and rewritten sections on: axial magnification
- Jackson Cross Cylinder tests
- retinoscopy reflex motions
- field of view
- the optics of indirect ophthalmoscopy
- optical aberrations
- diffractive lenses
- the Doppler shift
- lasers and the similarities and differences of Gaussian laser beams versus the propagation of light from a point source
- plus, a new appendix on angles and basic trigonometry.
- Although not a matrix optics text, matrices are used extensively in the chapters on spherical systems and off-axis aspects of astigmatism. In particular, the matrix treatment of astigmatism serves as a foundation for the recently developed, much improved statistical techniques that deal with refractive corrections and astigmatism in all its aspects.
Key Features :
- Emphasizes conceptual understanding and development of optical intuition
- Uses the vergence-dioptric power-wave front approach
- Helpful review for optometry boards and qualifying examinations
