MAKE OPTICAL MEASUREMENTS WITH MAXIMUM ACCURACY AND MINIMUM COST

Photodetection and measurement techniques are used by engineers and physicists to "characterize" optical devices and systems.

Characterizing - numerically describing a device's performance - is vital to the design and analysis of fiber optics, laser systems, and optoelectronic circuitry.

As more and more electronics are becoming optoelectronic (because light moves faster than electricity) the art of taking accurate, inexpensive optical measurements has become very important to EEs across the board. 

This is a practical engineering tutorial on making accurate and effective measurements without spending a fortune - by using equipment commonly available in labs and companies.

It considers the full chain of equipment: photodetectors, amplifiers, LED sources, electronic drives, basic optics, interference screens, and data acquisition systems. MathCAD will be used for frequency plots throughout.
