Agrawal B. Optical Beam Control. Imaging Satellites and Laser Systems 2025 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

The authors have designed this timely new book in response to the need for up-to-date and complete coverage of multi-disciplinary basic principles of optical beam control for imaging satellites and laser systems. As the uses of imaging satellites and laser systems increase, optical beam control for these systems will occupy engineers and scientists for years to come. The book introduces space telescopes, ground telescopes, laser communications, and high energy laser systems, covering light sources, lenses, wave optics, diffraction, and polarization, as well as fine pointing control, classical control, modern control, Kalman filters, sensors, actuators, flexible control, slew maneuvers, and acquisition, tracking, and pointing
