"Optics for Engineers" by Charles A. DiMarzio is an accessible textbook that introduces the fundamentals of geometric and physical optics, focusing on their practical applications in designing and analyzing optical systems. The book covers essential topics such as Snell's law, imaging with single interfaces, reflection, refraction, lenses, prisms, and reflective systems. It also delves into matrix optics, aberrations, polarized light, interference, diffraction, Gaussian beams, coherence, Fourier optics, radiometry, photometry, and optical detection. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding how basic optical principles affect design decisions and includes numerous examples and practical reminders. The book is suitable for engineers and researchers in various fields, providing a comprehensive guide to the core concepts and applications of optics."Optics for Engineers" by Charles A.
