BookDonald C. O'Shea.
Summary: A textbook for elementary optical design that treats lasers, modulators and scanners as part of the design process. Moves from the simplest concepts in optics to a basic understanding of ray tracing in optical systems, the components of those systems, and the process by which a design is produced. Features numerous, examples and figures. Nielsen 9780471077961 20160528
