Optical Systems Design Detection Essentials: Radiometry, photometry, colorimetry, noise, and measurements

By Robert M Bunch

All optical systems have the same basic form consisting of an input source of light carrying information, components and devices that modify the light propagating through the system, and a method of detecting the light that produces an output from the system. The purpose of this textbook is to provide the necessary science overview of optical design detection essentials but in a context of use applied to the design process. Application case studies are included in most chapters to illustrate one or more practical concepts of a system, device, or measurement. Each chapter contains examples and end-of-chapter problems.

Key FeaturesProvides a thorough understanding of all aspects of optical systems.Discusses material from a practical standpoint, helping both students and practicing optical engineers.Provides worked examples to explain various concepts in the text.Presents application focused case studies.Includes end-of-chapter problems to assist the student.
