{"product_id":"thermal-infrared-sensors-9780470871928","title":"Thermal Infrared Sensors","description":"The problems involved in designing optimal infrared (IR) measuring systems under given conditions are commensurately complex. The optical set-up and radiation conditions, the interaction between sensor and irradiation and the sensor itself, determine the operation of the sensor system. Simple calculations for solving these problems without any understanding of the causal relationships are not possible.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThermal Infrared Sensors\u003c\/i\u003e offers a concise explanation of the basic physical and photometric fundamentals needed for the consideration of these interactions. It depicts the basics of thermal IR sensor systems and explains the manifold causal relationships between the most important effects and influences, describing the relationships between sensor parameters such as thermal and special resolution, and application conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book covers: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003evarious types of thermal sensors, like thermoelectric sensor, pyroelectric sensors, microbolometers, micro-Golay cells and bimorphous sensors;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ebasic applications for thermal sensors;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003enoise - a limiting factor for thermal resolution and detectivity - including an outline of the mathematics and noise sources in thermal infrared sensors;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe properties of IR sensor systems in conjunction with the measurement environment and application conditions;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e60 examples showing calculations of real problems with real numbers, as they occur in many practical applications.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is an essential reference for practicing design and optical engineers and users of infrared sensors and infrared cameras. With this book they will be able to transform the demonstrated solutions to their own problems, find ways to match their commercial IR sensors and cameras to their measurement conditions, and to tailor and optimise sensors and set-ups to particular IR measurement problems. The basic knowledge outlined in this book will give advanced undergraduate and graduate students a thorough grounding in this technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helmut Budzier,Gerald Gerlach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780470871928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011 pg. 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfessor Gerald Gerlach, Department of Electrical Engineering, Dresden University of Technology, Germany\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Gerlach is Head of the Solid State Electronics Laboratory at Dresden University of Technology.
