Foundations of Optical System Analysis and Design
暫譯: 光學系統分析與設計基礎

光學/光子系統的分析與設計需要在不同階段應用不同程度的光學原理。本書旨在提供足夠的材料以供「自學」，同時也作為相關碩士和博士課程學生的便捷參考。

Prof. Lakshminarayan Hazra obtained his M. Tech. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Calcutta, and after several years in M/s National Instruments Limited, Calcutta and the Central Scientific Instruments Organisation (C.S.I.O.), Chandigarh, he joined the faculty of the Department of Applied Physics of the University of Calcutta in 1979.

Early in his career, he devised new techniques for imaging in telescopes working in turbulent medium, and in collaboration with Prof. H. H. Hopkins of University of Reading, U.K., he designed a remote access zoom objective for monitoring open-heart surgery in 1983. Prof. Hazra developed new methods for structural design of optical systems, as well as developed the optical design software 'Ray Analysis Package' (RAP). He pioneered the use of Walsh functions in image analysis and synthesis, and, in association with researchers at Laval University in Canada, investigated the exact surface relief profile of diffractive lenses in the non-paraxial region.

He took the lead in establishing the Department of Applied Optics and Photonics at the University of Calcutta in 2005. He is currently associated as an Emeritus Professor with this department. He is a Distinguished Fellow of the Optical Society of India (OSI) where he was General Secretary for more than 15 years, and currently he is the Editor-in-chief of the OSI 'Journal of Optics' published in collaboration with M/s Springer. He is a fellow of both the Optical Society of America and the SPIE. Prof. Hazra is the representative for the Indian Territory in the International Commission for Optics. He was conferred the 'Eminent Teacher Award' by the University of Calcutta in 2019.

Prof. Hazra has published more than 100 papers in archival journals, and a few research monographs. He has delivered more than 250 invited talks on his research in different parts of India and in many countries of the world, namely U.S.A., U.K., Canada, Japan, Austria, Poland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Slovenia, Malaysia, China, Finland, Russia etc. He provides consultancy services to industry on optical instrumentation, and regularly works for promotion of applied and modern optics. He was a Nuffield Foundation Fellow (1982-83) in U.K., a visiting Professor (1991 - 97) at the Centre d'Optique, Photonique et Lasers, Laval University in Quebec, Canada, an Erasmus Mundus Visiting Professor in the OpSciTech program of the European Commission in 2008, and a Visiting (Invitation) Professor of the Japan Society for Promotion of Science in 2012.

His areas of research interest are Optical System Design, Zoom Lens Design, Diffractive Optics, Optical and Ophthalmic Instrumentation, Aberration Theory, Theories of Image Formation, Super Resolution, Global Optimization, Laser Beam Shaping, Optical Tweezers, Fractal Optics, Metamaterials, Pareto-optimality and Solar Concentrator Optics. He has undertaken major research projects (funded by government agencies and private industries) on many of these topics. He has supervised the theses of more than twenty doctoral students, and more than a hundred Bachelor and Master level students in India and abroad.

教授 Lakshminarayan Hazra 於加爾各答大學獲得碩士及博士學位，並在加爾各答的 National Instruments Limited 及昌迪加爾的中央科學儀器組織 (C.S.I.O.) 工作多年後，於1979年加入加爾各答大學應用物理系的教職。

在職業生涯的早期，他設計了在湍流介質中進行成像的新技術，並與英國雷丁大學的 H. H. Hopkins 教授合作，於1983年設計了一種遠程訪問變焦物鏡，用於監測開心臟手術。Hazra 教授開發了光學系統結構設計的新方法，並開發了光學設計軟體「Ray Analysis Package」(RAP)。他在影像分析和合成中率先使用 Walsh 函數，並與加拿大拉瓦爾大學的研究人員合作，研究了非旁軸區域中衍射透鏡的精確表面形狀輪廓。

他於2005年主導成立了加爾各答大學的應用光學與光子學系，目前擔任該系的名譽教授。他是印度光學學會 (OSI) 的傑出會員，曾擔任總秘書超過15年，目前是與 M/s Springer 合作出版的 OSI 《光學期刊》的主編。他是美國光學學會及 SPIE 的會員。Hazra 教授是國際光學委員會的印度區代表，並於2019年獲得加爾各答大學頒發的「傑出教師獎」。

Hazra 教授已在學術期刊上發表超過100篇論文，並撰寫了幾本研究專著。他在印度及世界多個國家（如美國、英國、加拿大、日本、奧地利、波蘭、法國、德國、荷蘭、義大利、斯洛維尼亞、馬來西亞、中國、芬蘭、俄羅斯等）發表了超過250場受邀演講。他為業界提供光學儀器的諮詢服務，並定期致力於應用及現代光學的推廣。他曾於1982-83年在英國擔任 Nuffield 基金會研究員，1991-97年擔任加拿大魁北克拉瓦爾大學光學、光子學及激光中心的訪問教授，2008年在歐洲委員會的 OpSciTech 計畫中擔任 Erasmus Mundus 訪問教授，並於2012年擔任日本學術振興會的訪問教授。

他的研究興趣包括光學系統設計、變焦鏡頭設計、衍射光學、光學及眼科儀器、像差理論、影像形成理論、超解析度、全局優化、激光束整形、光學鉗、分形光學、超材料、Pareto 最優性及太陽能集光光學。他在許多這些主題上承擔了由政府機構和私營企業資助的重大研究項目。他已指導超過二十位博士生及一百多位學士和碩士生在印度及國外完成論文。
