Summary

Summary

Optical Radiation Detectors , Eustace L. Dereniak and Devon G.Crowe

Offers a comprehensive, integrated treatment of optical radiationdetectors, discussing their capabilities and limitations.Background material on radiometry, noise sources, and detectorphysics is introduced, followed by more detailed discussions ofphoton detectors, thermal detectors, and charge transfer arrays ofdetectors.
