Presence of a fovea centralis is directly linked to molecular specification of an avascular
area in central retina, before the fovea (or 'pit') begins to form. Modelling suggests that …

This book deals with theoretical bases of the modern optics division concerned with
coherent light fields with singularities characterized by phase uncertainty. Singular light …

The effect of refractive‐index mismatch, as encountered in the observation of biological
specimens, on the image acquisition process in confocal fluorescence microscopy is …

Using numerous mathematical and numerical techniques of diffraction theory, Waves in
Focal Regions: Propagation, Diffraction and Focusing of Light, Sound and Water Waves …

This book presents a comprehensive tutorial on propagation, diffraction and scattering
problems from the basic principles of physical optics. Beginning with the fundamental …

The first inclusive book on the cutting-edge field of modern optics and its applications For the
first time, all the major aspects of designing planar DOEs are covered in one book …

Metasurfaces, known as ultra‐thin and planar structures, are widely used in optical
components with their excellent ability to manipulate the wavefront of the light. The key …

Imaging systems with circular and annular pupils aberrated by primary aberrations are
considered. Both classical and balanced (Zernike) aberrations are discussed. Closed-form …

The effects of focused aperture amplitude tapering, both direct and inverse, on axial
forelobes and aftlobes are investigated. Taylor tapers give low sidelobes but high forelobes …

Some focusing properties of Fresnel zone plate (FZP) lens antennas in the near-field region
are presented at the ka-band. Simulated and measured results of the FZP antenna show …
