Description for Infrared Detectors and Systems
Hardcover. This text examines the theory and application of infrared detectors. It describes the optical detection process and the electronics involved in mimicking the eye. It further describes how well optical systems detect radiation. Series: Wiley Series in Pure and Applied Optics. Num Pages: 592 pages, Ill. BIC Classification: TJFC; TTB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 238 x 165 x 34. Weight in Grams: 932.
This text covers the range of subjects necessary for theunderstanding of modern infrared-imaging systems at a levelappropriate for seniors or first-year graduate students in physicsor electrical engineering. The first six chapters focus onfundamental background issues of radiation detection, beginningwith the basics of geometrical optics and finishing with adiscussion of the figures of merit used for describing thesignal-to-noise performance of a detector system. Other topicsinclude radiometry and flux-transfer issues, basicradiation-detector mechanisms, and random-processmathematics.
The presentation then moves on to specific detector technologiesand the fundamental mechanisms of detection, paying specialattention to responsivity and noise performance. Devices discussedinclude photovoltaic detectors, ... Read more
