DESCRIPTION:
New to the Second Edition:Fundamentals of IR detection, radiometry, and flux-transfer issues needed for IR detector and system analysisMajor achievements and trends in the development of IR detectors Novel uncooled detectors such as cantilever, antenna, and optically coupled detectorsType II superlattice detectorsQuantum dot IR detectorsTerahertz (THz) arrays and new generation of IR detectors, so-called third generation detectors The author accomplishes the difficult task of making the information accessible to a wide readership. Antoni Rogalski, an internationally recognized pioneer in the field, covers the comprehensive range of subjects necessary to understand modern IR detector theory and technology. The author explores the theory and technology of different thermal detectors and then moves on to the theory and technology of photon detectors. It begins with a tutorial introduction to essential of different types of IR detectors and systems. Completely revised and reorganized while retaining the approachable style of the first edition, I
Nolukwithamazon said Five Stars. Good info. R. G. W. Brown said A valuable overview. I've dipped into this book a lot - and find it to be a most valuable overview of what's happened in the IR field. Some of the specifications and Figs. are somewhat old and out-of-date, but the physics/engineering discussions are fine.. "resembers an "encyclopedia" of infrared detectors" according to L. Han. "This Second Edition is fully revised and reorganized, with new chapters concerning third generation and quantum dot detectors, THz detectors, cantilever and antenna coupled detectors, and information on radiometry and IR optics materials.

Part IV concerning focal plane arrays is significantly expanded. This book, resembling an encyclopedia of IR detectors, is well illustrated and contains many original references … a really comprehensive book.F. This second edition is fully revised and reorganized, with new chapters concerning third generation and quantum dot detectors, THz detectors, cantilever and antenna coupled detectors, and information on radiometry and IR optics materials.
