Description
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 book covers many important, diverse areas such as medical thermography, fiber optical communications, and
CCD cameras. It also explains topics such asD *, NEP, f number, RA product, BER, shot noise, and more.
This volume
can be considered an essential reference for research and practical scientists working with optical and infrared systems, as well as
a text for graduate-level courses on optoelectronics, optical sources and systems, and optical detection. Aproblem solution manual for
instructors who wish to adopt this text is available.
Audience
The audience includes researchers, graduate and post-graduate students, and practicing engineers and scientists dealing with optical and
optoelectronic devices and their applications in both the physics and engineering communities. Thus, along with individual buyers, the
market includes industry, bookstores, and libraries. Although it might be used by college juniors and seniors specializing in optics
and optical engineering, reviewers of the text suggest it is better suited for adoption by graduate-level courses on optoelectronics,
optical sources and systems, and optical detection. The mailing lists for the Optical Society of America and SPIE should be used (partly
supplied by the author).
