This book provides a basic overview of optical principles for non-specialists who find themselves working with optical components and systems in their academic, professional, or research endeavors. The book assumes that the reader, for example an electrical or mechanical engineer, has a basic background in mathematics, but does not burden or overwhelm them with complex information or heavy mathematical equations. In addition to the basic principles, the book includes applications and worked examples throughout. Each chapter contains a set of suggested experiments designed to help the reader understand and visualize the basic principles. The book includes MATLAB® simulations to help readers understand the fundamentals as well as the effects of parameter changes on the outcome. The book also discusses advanced topics, and readers are directed to appropriate texts for further reading.
