Optical Systems Design Detection Essentials: Radiometry, photometry, colorimetry, noise, and measurements

All optical systems have the same basic form consisting of an input source of light carrying information, components and devices that modify the light propagating through the system, and a method of detecting the light that produces an output from the system. The purpose of this textbook is to provide the necessary science overview of optical design detection essentials but in a context of use applied to the design process. Application case studies are included in most chapters to illustrat...
