Author Notes
Herbert Gross was born in 1955. He studied Physics at the University of Stuttgart and joined Carl Zeiss in 1982. Since then he has been working in the department of optical design. His special areas of interest are the development of simulation methods, optical design software and algorithms, the modelling of laser systems and the simulation of problems in physical optics, and the tolerancing and measurement of optical systems. Since 1995, he has been heading the central optical design department at Zeiss. Dr. Gross served as a lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences at Aalen and at the University of Lausanne, and gave seminars for the Photonics Net of Baden Württemberg as well as several internal company courses. In 1995, he received his PhD from the University of Stuttgart for a work on the modelling of laser beam propagation in the partial coherent region. He has published several papers and has given many talks at conferences.

Choice Review
Gross's Fundamentals of Technical Optics is the first of a six-volume series intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of the principles governing the design and simulation of optical systems. This volume introduces geometrical optics and contains 16 chapters. Gross (Carl Zeiss AG) discusses numerous topics including paraxial imaging, ray tracing as a tool for numerical calculations, and the description of optical systems as well as the treatment of material issues, light sources, sensors, and photometry. Furthermore, color theory, wave optics, aberrations, special components, gratings, and prisms are also discussed. A basic knowledge of mathematics and physics is assumed. Figures and illustrations, except for a few countable ones, are presented in color graphics. References are listed at each chapter end. No problems are included. ^BSumming Up: Recommended.
