This Field Guide app derives from the treatment of geometrical optics that has evolved from both the undergraduate and graduate programs at the Optical Sciences Center at the University of Arizona. This app covers Gaussian imagery, paraxial optics, first-order optical system design, system examples, illumination, chromatic effects, and an introduction to aberrations. The appendices provide supplemental material on radiometry and photometry, the human eye, and several other topics.

  • This app allows me to carry around the SPIE optics field guide on my phone at a great price. It contains all the equations and figures I used to run to Wikipedia for and in a format that's much easier to search, much clearer to someone with an optics background, and without the chance that some prankster inserted a minus sign somewhere to trip me up! The previous reviewer is right -- it doesn't seem to allow negative signs in any of the fields for radius of curvature, so the built-in solvers are of limited utility. That said, this is a great price for such a useful optics reference, and if the bug is fixed, it'll just be icing on the cake for me. Here's hoping SPIE sees enough interest to put out more of its field guides for smartphones (or even for sale as ebooks so I don't have to worry about losing them)!
