This series of books on Lasers and Optical Engineering is intended to reflect
the systems and applied nature of modem optics and to affirm our belief that we
are witnessing the evolution of a new breed of engineer: the optical engineer.
Books will be featured which project the multidisciplinary and wide-ranging
coverage of optical engineering and underpin this with a strong commitment to
fundamental principles. The series is aimed predominantly at the advanced
student and the practising optical engineer, whether in industry or academia.
