Download or read book Detection of Optical and Infrared Radiation written by R. H. Kingston and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 throughout the text. These include the three thermal distribution laws (Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac, Bose Einstein), spontaneous and stimulated emission, and the definition and counting of electromagnetic modes of space. Chapter 2 defines and analyzes the perfect photon detector and calculates the ultimate sensitivity in the presence of thermal radiation. In Chapter 3, we turn from incoherent or power detection to coherent or heterodyne detection and use the concept of orthogonal spatial modes to explain the antenna theorem and the mixing theorem. Chapters 4 through 6 then present a detailed analysis of the sensitivity of vacuum and semiconductor detectors, including the effects of amplifier noise.

This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
