About this Item

Neuware - Building Electro-Optical SystemsIn the newly revised third edition of Building Electro-Optical Systems: Making It All Work, renowned Dr. Philip C. D. Hobbs delivers a birds-eye view of all the topics you'll need to understand for successful optical instrument design and construction. The author draws on his own work as an applied physicist and consultant with over a decade of experience in designing and constructing electro-optical systems from beginning to end.The book's topics are chosen to allow readers in a variety of disciplines and fields to quickly and confidently decide whether a given device or technique is appropriate for their needs. Using accessible prose and intuitive organization, Building Electro-Optical Systems remains one of the most practical and solution-oriented resources available to graduate students and professionals.The newest edition includes comprehensive revisions that reflect progress in the field of electro-optical instrument design and construction since the second edition was published. It also offers approximately 350 illustrations for visually oriented learners. Readers will also enjoy:\* A thorough introduction to basic optical calculations, including wave propagation, detection, coherent detection, and interferometers\* Practical discussions of sources and illuminators, including radiometry, continuum sources, incoherent line sources, lasers, laser noise, and diode laser coherence control\* Explorations of optical detection, including photodetection in semiconductors and signal-to-noise ratios\* Full treatments of lenses, prisms, and mirrors, as well as coatings, filters, and surface finishes, and polarizationPerfect for graduate students in physics, electrical engineering, optics, and optical engineering, Building Electro-Optical Systems is also an ideal resource for professional designers working in optics, electro-optics, analog electronics, and photonics.

About this title

Synopsis:

This book covers all areas of electro-optical system design and construction. The material was gathered by doing many conceptual designs from square one: thinking up a measurement concept, doing the math to predict its detailed performance analytically, and comparing that to other concepts before actually building anything. The author covers the full range of topics needed for a successful instrument design, and gives references for further reading in greater depth. The range of topics chosen is calibrated to give the gist of each device or technique, and what it's good for or not good for. The style of the book is written to convey a colloquial conversation to aid the reader's comprehension.
