ISBN: 9780819491640
Category : Lenses
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The process of designing lenses is both an art and a science. While advances in the field over the past two centuries have done much to transform it from the former category to the latter, much of the lens design process remains encapsulated in the experience and knowledge of industry veterans. This SPIE Field Guide provides a working reference for practicing physicists, engineers, and scientists for deciphering the nuances of basic lens design.

Fundamentals of Infrared Detector Materials
Author: Michael A. Kinch
Publisher: SPIE Press
ISBN: 9780819467317
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
The choice of available infrared (IR) detectors for insertion into modern IR systems is both large and confusing. The purpose of this volume is to provide a technical database from which rational IR detector selection criteria evolve, and thus clarify the options open to the modern IR system designer. Emphasis concentrates mainly on high-performance IR systems operating in a tactical environment, although there also is discussion of both strategic environments and low- to medium-performance system requirements.
