Presents a comprehensive introduction to the selection,
operation, and testing of infrared devices, including a
description of modern detector assemblies and their
operation
This book discusses how to use and test infrared and visible
detectors. The book provides a convenient reference for those
entering the field of IR detector design, test or use, those who
work in the peripheral areas, and those who teach and train others
in the field.
Chapter 1 contains introductory material. Radiometry is covered
in Chapter 2. The author examines Thermal detectors in Chapter 3;
the "Classical" photon detectors - simple
photoconductors and photovoltaics in Chapter 4; and "Modern
Photon Detectors" in Chapter 5. Chapters 6 through 8
consider respectively individual elements and small arrays of
elements the "readouts" (ROICs) used with large imaging
arrays; and Electronics for FPA Operation and Testing. The Test Set
and The Testing Process are analyzed in Chapters 9 and 10, with
emphasis on uncertainty and trouble shooting. Chapters 11 through
15 discuss related skills, such as Uncertainty, Cryogenics, Vacuum,
Optics, and the use of Fourier Transforms in the detector business.
Some highlights of this new edition are that it
Discusses radiometric nomenclature and calculations, detector
mechanisms, the associated electronics, how these devices are
tested, and real-life effects and problems
Examines new tools in Infrared detector operations,
specifically: selection and use of ROICs, electronics for FPA
operation, operation of single element and very small FPAs,
microbolometers, and multi-color FPAs
Contains five chapters with frequently sought-after information
on related subjects, such as uncertainty, optics, cryogenics,
vacuum, and the use of Fourier mathematics for detector
analyses
Fundamentals of Infrared and Visible Detector Operation and
Testing, Second Edition, provides the background and vocabulary
necessary to help readers understand the selection, operation, and
testing of modern infrared devices.
