And there's no faster or easier way to master photodetection and measurement techniques than with this hands-on tutorial written by a teacher with experience enough to know the questions you would ask. A clear, easy-to-understand "rules-of-thumb" approach shows you how to make high-performance optical measurements by getting the fundamentals right, often with simple, inexpensive equipment commonly found in laboratories. It includes treatment of: You'll also gain a firm understanding of noise-reduction techniques and the essentials of building-in speed, sensitivity, and stability. If you want to learn the secret of making sound optical measurements without expensive equipment, this is the one resource you shouldn't work without. |

MAKE OPTICAL MEASUREMENTS WITH MAXIMUM ACCURACY AND MINIMUM COST Photo detection 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 opto-electronic circuitry. As more and more of electronics are becoming opto-electronic (because light moves faster then 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: photo detectors, amplifiers, LED sources, electronic drives, basic optics, interference screens, and data acquisition systems. MathCAD will be used for frequency plots throughout. |
