How does a quantum well detector, a silicon BIB or a CCD work? How are heterodyne techniques used in visible and infrared detectors and submillimeter and millimeter receivers? And how do you specify the performance of any detector system? This volume answers all these questions with an up-to-date review of all the techniques for the detection of light.
This presentation approaches light detectors from the perspective of the underlying physics; and in this way it provides a unified understanding of the detection of radiation in the ultraviolet through to the submillimeter. Clearly worked examples demonstrate the physics involved, and problems are provided to increase the reader's knowledge of how each system works.
This clearly written and authoritative review of modern detector systems will develop the understanding of final year undergraduate and graduate students. It will provide a valuable reference for professionals in astronomy, engineering, and physics.
