Synopsis
Intended as both a textbook and reference, this work combines a solid treatment of optical signal processing theory with detailed descriptions of selected processing applications. With a focus on processing two-dimensional analog signals, the book treats the important new area of acousto-optic signal processing. Beginning with an examination of optical signal processing fundamentals, chapters cover basic signal parameters, geometrical optics, physical optics, spectrum analysis and spatial filtering. Later chapters focus on applications examine heterodyne systems, heterodyne spectrum analysis, decimated arrays and cross-spectrum analysis, heterodyne transform and signal excision, space integrating correlators, time integrating systems, and two-dimensional processing.
Présentation de l'éditeur
An indispensable treatment of optical signal processing––now in a convenient paperback edition
This introduction to optical signal processing offers an unparalleled look at its underlying theory and selected processing applications. Designed as both a senior–level undergraduate or first–year graduate–level textbook and a reference for professionals working in the field, Optical Signal Processing begins with a clear, methodical look at the fundamentals of optical signal processing, forming a firm foundation for a discussion of the field′s ever–evolving technological breadth. Beginning with the second half of the book, special emphasis is given to processing wide bandwidth signals in real time by using acousto–optic technology.
Complete with detailed study problems that test the limits of students′ knowledge, this comprehensive text forms a complete one–volume account of the theory and applications of optical signal processing. Professional engineers and physicists will find the sheer breadth of up–to–date coverage and detail of Optical Signal Processing provides them with an indispensable treatment of this influential technology.
