A Note About the Essays
Presented here is a small collection of essays covering various aspects of optics and optical testing by Roland Christen of Astro-Physics. Some of these essays were conceived and written as a single work by Mr. Christen while others were compiled by the owner of this site from Roland's postings to various discussion groups on the internet. Roland Christen in giving his permission to publish this work, pointed out that the compiled pieces "don't read like a polished essay (they appear to be somewhat out of context)". The reader will no doubt find this to be true, however in spite of this lack of polish, there is much valuable information to be gained. In the near future the compiled essays will undergo some judicious editing in order that they read with the same lucidity as Roland's original work.
