Principles of Biophotonics, Volume 3 (eBook, ePUB)

Field propagation in linear, homogeneous, dispersionless, isotropic media

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Principles of Biomedical Optics aims to teach students, instructors, and professionals the basis of optical techniques for biological investigation. It is a textbook for experimentalists who are active at the interface between biology, medicine, and optics (i.e. biological optics, biomedical optics, biophotonics, etc). This volume aims to familiarize the reader with basic concepts of light propagation in the simplest class of media: linear, homogenous, dispersionless, and isotropic. After a review of Maxwell's equations in both integral and differential forms, the book describes the field propagation from elementary sources (dipoles) and in free space, in 1D, 2D, and 3D. Next, the material covers diffraction of light by a 2D screen, with various levels of approximations, emphasizing the wavevector space calculations. The ABCD matrix propagation is introduced as an efficient tool for both ray optics and Gaussian beam propagation. The volume ends with a chapter on propagation of field correlations, generalizing the coherence concepts introduced in Volume 1.

Autorenporträt

Gabriel Popescu is the William L. Everitt
Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He received his PhD in optics in 2002
from CREOL, The College of Optics and Photonics, University of Central Florida.
He continued his training with the late Michael Feld at MIT, working as a
postdoctoral associate. He joined Illinois in August 2007, where he directs the
Quantitative Light Imaging Laboratory (QLI Lab) at the Beckman Institute for
Advanced Science and Technology. Aside from Principles
of Biophotonics, he has authored another book on quantitative
phase imaging, edited a title on nanobiophotonics, authored 200 journal
publications, 240 conference presentations, 32 patents and has given 235 lecture/plenary/invited talks. He founded Phi
Optics Inc, a start-up company that commercializes quantitative phase imaging
technology, and he is a Fellow of OSA, SPIE, and AIMBE, as well as being a
Senior member of IEEE. Professor Popescu also won the SPIE Dennis Gabor Award
in Diffractive Optics in 2022.
