Reviews
""Johnson, a cofounder of the Center for Aplied Optics at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, offers an updated edition of the text by the late Kingslake, a founding faculty member of Rochester's Institute of Optics and widely regarded as the father of lens design in the United States.""--Rochester University Magazine
'I already use this book as a reference. With the added changes and more modern nomenclature, I would use it as the required text. It covers all the topics of optical design that need to be considered.'
