Lens Design

Lens Design, Fourth Edition is still the most complete and reliable guide for detailed design information and procedures for a wide range of optical systems. With experience ranging from innovative cinematographic and special-effects optical systems to infrared and underwater lens systems, Milton Laikin covers a vast range of special-purpose optical systems and their detailed design and analysis. This edition was updated to replace obsolete glass types and includes several new designs and sections on stabilized systems, the human eye, spectrographic systems, and diffractive systems. A new CD-ROM offers extensive lens prescription data and executable ZEMAX files corresponding to figures in the text.
