Detection of Optical Signals

<p><em>Detection of Optical Signals</em> 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.</p><p>This interdisciplinary textbook aims to:</p><ul> <li>Guide readers into more detailed and technical treatments of readout optical signals</li> <li>Give a broad overview of optical signal detection including terahertz region and two-dimensional material</li> <li>Help readers further their studies by offering chapter-end problems and recommended reading.</li> </ul><p>This is 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.</p>
