High Aperture Focusing Of Em Waves And Applicationin Optical Microscopy

High aperture focusing is essential to many applications, including optical lithography, optical data storage techniques, and medical optics. This book covers the theory of high aperture focusing, as well as problems associated with its applications. Bringing together an enormous amount of research, the text discusses areas such as vectorial and scalar theories of diffraction, computational methods, high aperture beam propagation, and aberrations in high aperture optical systems, dielectric slabs, and stratified media. Accessible at the advanced undergraduate level, the book is intended both for optical microscopists and other scientists working in areas where high aperture focusing is used.Sheppard, J.
