Determination of manufacturing tolerances -- 6.4. From task to solution--bottom line7. Impact of manufacturing tolerances on imaging performance -- 7.1. Bulk defects in optical glasses -- 7.2. Form deviations and surface defects of optical components -- 7.3. Position tolerances -- 7.4. Impact of manufacturing tolerances on imaging performance--bottom line8. Hands-on training -- 8.1. Introduction to used software -- 8.2. Exercises.This book gives a comprehensive overview on 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. Part of IOP Series in Emerging Technologies in Optics and Photonics.Students (optical engineering, photonics, laser technology engineering physics etc).Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Christoph Gerhard is a professor for Physics and Instrumental Analytics and head of the Laboratory of Analytical Measurement Technology at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in G?ottingen, Germany.
