Infrared detection technologies have a wide range of applications, including thermal imaging, night vision, spectroscopy, and remote sensing. This book provides a comprehensive overview of infrared detection technologies, from the basic principles of operation to the latest advances in detector design and applications.
This book is written for engineers, scientists, and technicians who work with infrared detectors, as well as for students who are interested in learning about this important field. The book is written in a clear and concise style, with a focus on practical applications. It is illustrated with numerous figures and tables, and includes a glossary of terms and an index.
The book begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of infrared radiation and infrared detector operation. It then discusses the different types of infrared detectors, including intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors, narrow-bandgap semiconductors, quantum well infrared photodetectors, uncooled infrared detectors, and cryogenic infrared detectors. The book also covers the design of infrared detectors, including detector geometries, cooling methods, packaging, arrays, and signal processing.
The book also provides chapters on infrared detector testing, infrared imaging systems, infrared spectroscopy, infrared remote sensing, infrared countermeasures, and the future of infrared detection technologies. These chapters cover a wide range of topics, including detector responsivity, noise, linearity, dynamic range, and stability; infrared camera components, operation, and applications; infrared absorption and emission spectroscopy; infrared satellite, aerial, and ground-based sensors; and infrared signature management, decoys, jammers, and countermeasures techniques.
This book is an essential resource for anyone who works with infrared detectors or who is interested in learning about this important field.
