A practical guide to experimental geometrical optics A concise yet deep introduction to experimental geometrical optics this book begins with the fundamental concepts and then develops the practical skills and research techniques routinely used in modern laboratories. Suitable for students researchers and optical engineers this accessible text teaches readers how to build their own optical laboratory and to design and perform optical experiments. This hands on approach fills a gap between theory based textbooks and and laboratory manuals and allows the reader to develop their practical skills in this interdisciplinary field. It also explores the ways in which this knowledge can be applied to the design and production of commercial optical devices. Including supplementary online resources to help readers track and evaluate their experimental results this text is the ideal companion for anyone with a practical interest in experimental geometrical optics back cover
