Optical technology is essential in many applications in medicine, communication, imaging and even in such a unique field as secure document and currency forensics and authentication. Because humans strongly rely on their sense of sight, quite often a non-optical engineer considers optics as something obvious . They simplify or completely ignore the complexity of the physics of optics and optical phenomena. A basic comprehensive optics book linking application to physics of optics is going to be very helpful. -Dr. Tomasz Jagielinski, Cummins Allison Corporation

Author Information

Araz Yacoubian is a research scientist with experience in the optics-related fields. He received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering-electrophysics from the University of Southern California. His experience includes integrated optics, nonlinear optics, optical image processing, holography, electro-optics, and optical communication. Examples of his work include a demonstration of the first water immersible hologram and its application to contact lens tinting, development of a deployable real-time liquid crystal light valve-based image-processing unit, development of a surface and subsurface detection and imaging system based on a combination of optical/acoustic methods, as well as development of novel broad spectral band detectors and imagers.
