Optical Sources, Detectors, and Systems presents a unified approach, from the applied engineering point of view, to radiometry, optical devices, sources, and receivers. One of the most important and unique features of the book is that it combines modern optics, electric circuits, and system analysis into a unified, comprehensive treatment. The text provides physical concepts together with numerous data for sources and systems and offers basic analytical tools for a host of practical applications. Convenient reference sources, such as a glossary with explanatory text for specialized optical terminology, are included. Also, there are many illustrative examples and problems with solutions. The ...
Optical Radiation Detectors, Eustace L. Dereniak and Devon G.Crowe Offers a comprehensive, integrated treatment of optical radiationdetectors, discussing their capabilities and limitations.Background material on radiometry, noise sources, and detectorphysics is introduced, followed by more detailed discussions ofphoton detectors, thermal detectors, and charge transfer arrays ofdetectors.
Providing an overview of the necessary components and the range of applications from light-barriers to high-resolution surface-scanning interferometers, this is a valuable introduction to the technology of optical sensors as well as a reference for experienced practitioners. The first part of the book introduces readers to the basics of sensor principles by describing the most important components that can be found in all optical sensors. Based on this opto-electronic toolbox, the second part then goes on to give numerous examples of optical sensors with respect to their applications.
This text treats the fundamentals of optical and infrared detection in terms of the behavior of the radiation field, the physical properties of the detector, and the statistical behavior of the detector output. Both incoherent and coherent detection are treated in a unified manner, after which selected applications are analyzed, following an analysis of atmospheric effects and signal statistics. The material was developed during a one-semester course at M.I.T. in 1975, revised and presented again in 1976 at Lincoln Laboratory, and rewritten for publication in 1977. Chapter 1 reviews the derivation of Planck's thermal radiation law and also presents several fundamental concepts used throughou...

The recently developed optical radiation detectors need well-designed radiometers to perform improved radiometric, photometric, colorimetric, and radiation-temperature measurements. They can produce higher performance than traditionally used blackbody sources and lamps in wider application areas. This book presents research-based material in this field that has been implemented, realized, tested, verified, and evaluated. It can be used as a reference source for students, practicing scientists, engineers, technicians, instrument manufacturers and measurement/calibration people to learn, design, build, select, and use new generation radiometers. The book describes a number of design issues and applications to implement the correct input geometry for detectors to measure radiometric (power, irradiance and radiance) quantities, and DC, AC, and pulsed electrical output signals.
This book discusses modern, user-friendly radiometric practices that make it possible to convert from traditional source-based optical radiation measurements to the more efficient and higher accuracy detector-based applications and calibrations. It considers improved performance optical detector and radiometer standards including photometers and tristimulus colorimeters, and describes research-based design considerations, measurement of radiometric, optical, and electronic characteristics, and comparison of absolute-, transfer-, and working-standard detectors and radiometers from the ultraviolet (UV) to the infrared (IR) range. The book will serve to guide the optical radiation measurement community, researchers, manufacturers, calibration laboratories, students, and practicing engineers to switch from the old and limited-use measurement methods to the higher performance detector-based applications. The radiometer standards discussed here can be used to produce wide range radiometric, photometric, colour, and radiation temperature measurements with low uncertainty.
Detection of Optical Signals provides a comprehensive overview of important technologies for photon detection, from the X-ray through ultraviolet, visible, infrared to far-infrared spectral regions. It uniquely combines perspectives from many disciplines, particularly within physics and electronics, which are necessary to have a complete understanding of optical receivers. This interdisciplinary textbook aims to: - Guide readers into more detailed and technical treatments of readout optical signals - Give a broad overview of optical signal detection including terahertz region and two-dimensional material - Help readers further their studies by offering chapter-end problems and recommended reading. This will be an invaluable resource for graduate students in physics and engineering, as well as a helpful refresher for those already working with aerospace sensors and systems, remote sensing, thermal imaging, military imaging, optical telecommunications, infrared spectroscopy, and light detection.
Textbook on the physical principles of optical fibers - for advanced undergraduates and graduates in physics or electrical engineering.
This volume is written for those who desire a comprehensive analysis of the latest developments in infrared detector technology and a basic insight into the fundamental processes which are important to evolving detection techniques. Each of the most salient infrared detector types is treated in detail by authors who are recognized as leading authorities in the specific areas addressed. In order to concentrate on pertinent aspects of the present state of the detector art and the unique point of view of each author, extensive tutorials of a background nature are avoided in the text but are readily available to the reader through the many references given. The volume opens with a broad-brush in...
