Free Space Optical Systems Engineering: Design and Analysis, 1st Edition, is a textbook that introduces the principles of electro-optical engineering. The text concentrates on the technical demands of optical communications and remote sensing disciplines.

The volume details signal generation, transmission through optical media, and pre- and post-detection strategies used to mitigate environmental channel degradation. Readers examine how detected signals are differentiated from background noise using established performance standards.

Intended for upper-division undergraduate and first-year graduate students, this volume supports study through worked examples and practice problems integrated across the chapters and hosted on a companion website.
