  Description:     Optical engineering is the study and practice of using, detecting, transmitting and manipulating light to engineer products and systems. This text examines three main sub-topics. The first includes basic optical principles, including: geometrical optics, optical aberration, diffraction theory, optical interference, and crystal optics. Materials included in these first six chapters address the most basic and important optics principles with which optical engineers must be familiar. The second sub-topic, presented in chapters seven and eight, introduce light source, detectors, radiometry, photometry and colorimetry. The third sub-topic addresses the trend of optical technologies, including holography storage, fibre communication, optical testing and optical display. State-of-the-art optical devices are also presented in this final section.
