Optical science, engineering, and technology have grown rapidly in the last decade so that today optical engineering has emerged as an important discip line in its own right. This series is devoted to discussing topics in optical engineering at a level that will be useful to those working in the field or attempting to design systems that are based on optical techniques or that have significant optical subsystems. The philosophy is not to provide detailed monographs on narrow subject areas but to deal with the material at a level that makes it immediately useful to the practicing scientist and engineer. These are not research monographs, although we expect that workers in optical research will find them extremely valuable. Volumes in this series cover those topics that have been a part of the rapid expansion of optical engineering. The developments that have led to this expansion include the laser and its many commercial and industrial applications, the new optical materials, gradient index optics, electro- and accousto-optics, fiber optics and communications, optical computing and pattern recognition, optical data reading, recording and storage, biomedical instrumetation, industrial robotics, integrated optics, infrared and ultra-violet systems, etc. Since the optical industry is currently one of the major growth industries this list will surely become even more extensive.
