SynopsisHere is a handy compilation of 300 cost-saving, think-on-your-feet photonics rules of thumb designed to save you hours of design time and a world of frustration. Within seconds you can accurately gauge the impact of a suggested design change on your project. It is the premiere collection of these valuable rules in a single, quick look-up reference., Most neophyte lens designers very quickly learn to use their computer programs with a high level of proficiency. At this point, what they need most is an answer to the question, "What do I do now?" Warren J. Smith provides the answers in this substantial update of his popular classic. The material includes an expanded, detailed exposition of the basics and theoretical foundations of lens design and a description of the leading software used. It also includes a set of seven key examples of actual design projects carried out from scratch, which are described "with warts and all". Copublished with McGraw-Hill.
