Unified Optical Scanning Technology (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Written by an award-winning leader in the field, this is a thoroughly integrated overview of the many facets and disciplines of optical scanning. Of particular utility to both practitioner and student are such features as: * An overview of the technology and unifying principles, including active and passive scanning, optical transfer, and system architecture * In-depth chapters on scanning theory and processes, scanned resolution, scanner devices and techniques, and the control of scanner beam misplacemen * A comprehensive review of the government-sponsored research of agile beam steering, now primed for commercial adaptation * A unique focus on the Lagrange invariant and its revealing resolution invariant
