Description
This textbook covers the basic aspects of otical signal processing at an introductory level, yet it should help the student bridge the gap to current technical literature. It is intnded for senior-level undergraduate or first-year graduate students in the electrical engineering or applied physics as well as practicing engineers and scientists. Although the student or professional should have some exposure to one-dimensional signal processing, optics, and imaging to make the book self-contained and the necessary background information readily accessible. The text aim is to provide the student with insight on the underlying mathematical and physical principles, practical understanding of component technology and performance, a grasp of system design and analysis, and familiarity with architectures for selected but representative applications. Problem exercise, selected hints and solution, extensive reference, and MATLAB based modeling ansd simulation tools are included to support the student's exploration of applications and to direct their learning towards the current technical literature.
Numerous architectural diagrams are provided to assist in the understanding and visualization of important concepts and their implementation.
