Infrared Detectors and Emitters: Materials and Devices

ISBN-13: 9781461356387 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 478 str.

Peter Capper; C. T. Elliott

Opis

An up-to-date view of the various detector/emitter materials systems currently in use or being actively researched. The book is aimed at newcomers and those already working in the IR industry. It provides both an introductory text and a valuable overview of the entire field.

Recenzje

`The book providesa useful, compact reference work for the infrated specialist and a good tutorial for the non-specialist, particularly through the two introductory chapters on the operating principles and assessment of devices, and theoretical sections dispersed amongst the other chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 are recommended reading before full immersion in the later chapters, which are all by well-known.'
