Optics for Engineers

Optics for Engineers

The field of optics has become central to major developments in medical imaging remote sensing communication micro- and nanofabrication and consumer technology among other areas. Applications of optics are now found in products such as laser printers bar-code scanners and even mobile phones. There is a growing need for engineers to understand the principles of optics in order to develop new instruments and improve existing optical instrumentation. Based on a graduate course taught at Northeastern University Optics for Engineers provides a rigorous practical introduction to the field of optics. Drawing on his experience in industry the author presents the fundamentals of optics related to the problems encountered by engineers and researchers in designing and analyzing optical systems. Beginning with a history of optics the book introduces Maxwell‘s equations the wave equation and the eikonal equation which form the mathematical basis of the field of optics. It then leads readers through a discussion of geometric optics that is essential to most optics projects. The book also lays out the fundamentals of physical optics polarization interference and diffraction in sufficient depth to enable readers to solve many realistic problems. It continues the discussion of diffraction with some closed-form expressions for the important case of Gaussian beams. A chapter on coherence guides readers in understanding the applicability of the results in previous chapters and sets the stage for an exploration of Fourier optics. Addressing the importance of the measurement and quantification of light in determining the performance limits of optical systems the book then covers radiometry photometry and optical detection. It also introduces nonlinear optics. This comprehensive reference includes downloadable MATLAB code as well as numerous problems examples and illustrations. An introductory text for

The Turkic Languages

The Turkic Languages

The Turkic languages are spoken today in a vast geographical area stretching from southern Iran to the Arctic Ocean and from the Balkans to the great wall of China. There are currently 20 literary languages in the group the most important among them being Turkish with over 70 million speakers; other major languages covered include Azeri Bashkir Chuvash Gagauz Karakalpak Kazakh Kirghiz Noghay Tatar Turkmen Uyghur Uzbek Yakut Yellow Uyghur and languages of Iran and South Siberia. The Turkic Languages is a reference book which brings together detailed discussions of the historical development and specialized linguistic structures and features of the languages in the Turkic family. Seen from a linguistic typology point of view Turkic languages are particularly interesting because of their astonishing morphosyntactic regularity their vast geographical distribution and their great stability over time. This volume builds upon a work which has already become a defining classic of Turkic language study. The present thoroughly revised edition updates and augments those authoritative accounts and reflects recent and ongoing developments in the languages themselves as well as our further enhanced understanding of the relations and patterns of influence between them. The result is the fruit of decades-long experience in the teaching of the Turkic languages their philology and literature and also of a wealth of new insights into the linguistic phenomena and cultural interactions defining their development and use both historically and in the present day. Each chapter combines modern linguistic analysis with traditional historical linguistics; a uniform structure allows for easy typological comparison between the individual languages. Written by an international team of experts The Turkic Languages will be invaluable to students and researchers within linguistics Turcology and Near Eastern and Oriental Studies.
