A source on the rapidly changing field of optical computing. Readers are taken through the relevant concepts of classical and Fourier optics, digital logic and digital image processing. In addition to exploration of the basic principles, it applies the characteristics of both all-optical and electro-optic devices/systems to the solution of optical computing. Additional discussions focus on analog optical computing, digital logic and digital optical computing. Exercise problems, up-to-date references and further reading resources complete the book.

Optical Computing: An Introduction

A clear and practical introduction to digital design which concentrates on theories which apply directly to digital design, using an integrated hardware-firmware approach. The first five chapters form the core of combinational logic design and the next five cover the design of sequential logic circuits, developing the concepts of controller design and register transfer language. The remaining chapters incorporate both combinational and sequential concepts into the design of workable digital systems, including design of complex arithmetic circuitry, hardwared and microprogrammed processors and interfacing. Both authors are experienced professors in electrical engineering and use worked examples and real world problems extensively to motivate students. Additional learning aids include an introduction, summary, problems and suggested readings for every chapter. This book should be of interest to introductory courses in digital design for computer scientists and engineers.

This book covers the scope of electro-optics devices and systems. The chapters on Fourier and fiber optics present a comprehensive picture of these topics. Examples of optical computing schemes expose readers to state-of-the-art aspects of optics while challenging end-of-chapter problems provide practice using the material.

The study of continuous linear systems is of considerable importance in engineering applications, yet until recently, the study of these systems in undergraduate courses was typically combined with the study of discrete systems. Many engineering programs now reflect the practical value of treating these subjects in separate courses. Until now, however, all of the available texts have treated both subjects in one book, which means each could receive only limited coverage. Continuous Signals and Systems with MATLABÔ is the first undergraduate text fully focused on continuous systems. It presents all of the material needed to master the subject and its related MATLAB problem-solving techniques. The authors cover all of the traditional topics and include chapters on system design, state-space techniques, linearizing nonlinear systems, and the design and analysis of analog filters. They also discuss the five representations of continuous systems and explain how to go from one representation to another. With an easy-to-follow mathematical development, this text provides broad but detailed coverage and uses analytical methods along with MATLAB to solve problems from a variety of engineering disciplines. Numerous examples within the chapters illustrate each concept as it is covered, and end-of-chapter examples are presented from many engineering disciplines. By focusing on only one component of linear systems, Continuous Signals and Systems with MATLAB covers the subject in depth to provide the background and tools necessary to tackle real-life problems.

Designed for a one-semester undergraduate course in continuous linear systems, Continuous Signals and Systems with MATLAB®, Second Edition presents the tools required to design, analyze, and simulate dynamic systems. It thoroughly describes the process of the linearization of nonlinear systems, using MATLAB® to solve most examples and problems. With updates and revisions throughout, this edition focuses more on state-space methods, block diagrams, and complete analog filter design. 
New to the Second Edition 
• A chapter on block diagrams that covers various classical and state-space configurations 
• A completely revised chapter that uses MATLAB to illustrate how to design, simulate, and implement analog filters 
• Numerous new examples from a variety of engineering disciplines, with an emphasis on electrical and electromechanical engineering problems 
Explaining the subject matter through easy-to-follow mathematical development as well as abundant examples and problems, the text covers signals, types of systems, convolution, differential equations,Fourier series and transform, the Laplace transform, state-space representations, block diagrams, system linearization, and analog filter design. Requiring no prior fluency with MATLAB, it enables students to master both the concepts of continuous linear systems and the use of MATLAB to solve problems.
