Detection of Light: From the Ultraviolet to Submillimeter


Detection of Light: From the Ultraviolet to Submillimeter By George Rieke
Publisher: C U P 2002 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 0521017106 , 052181636X | PDF | 2 MB

Detection of Light provides a comprehensive overview of the important approaches to photon detection from the ultraviolet to the submillimeter spectral regions. This expanded and fully updated second edition discusses recently introduced types of detector: superconducting tunnel junctions, hot electron bolometer mixers, and fully depleted CCDs. It also includes historically important devices such as photographic plates. Material from many disciplines is combined into a comprehensive and unified treatment of the detection of light, with emphasis on the underlying physical principles.
