{"product_id":"molded-optics","title":"Molded Optics","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile several available texts discuss molded plastic optics, none provide information on all classes of molded optics. Filling this gap, \u003cstrong\u003eMolded Optics: Design and Manufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e presents detailed descriptions of molded plastic, glass, and infrared optics. Since an understanding of the manufacturing process is necessary to develop cost-effective, producible designs, the book extensively covers various manufacturing methods, design guidelines, trade-offs, best practices, and testing of critical parameters. It also discusses topics that often arise when designing systems with molded optics, such as mitigating stray light and mating systems by eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first three chapters of the book focus on subjects important to the design of systems using molded optics: optical design, visual optics, and stray light. Following these background chapters, the text provides in-depth information on the design and manufacture of molded plastic optics, molded glass optics, and molded infrared optics. The final chapter on testing emphasizes the special characteristics of molded optics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExperts in their particular areas, the authors draw on their considerable knowledge and real-world experiences to give a thorough account of the design and manufacture of molded plastic, glass, and infrared optics. The book will help readers improve their ability to develop systems that employ molded optics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54243273539928,"sku":"9780367576974","price":63.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367576974_5ee8dfc5-7b71-4a7e-8b94-9563f2c56462.jpg?v=1779340519","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/molded-optics","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
