About this product
Product Information
How does a quantum well detector or a silicon BIB work? How are heterodyne techniques used in infrared detectors and submillimetre receivers? This volume gives an up-to-date review of all radiation detector systems. This informative guide emphasises the physics involved in modern detectors: it will develop the understanding of students and provide a valuable reference for professionals.

' ... providing in a single source a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the field. Whether used as a text or as a reference, an invaluable addition.' Physics Today, 'An excellent treatise on the physics behind ... a very broad range of detectors ... It is well presented and each chapter is provided with worked examples and problems to test understanding ... can be recommended to anyone in the field using light detectors of any sort ...'. Engineering Science and Education Journal, 'The book is well laid out and covers most of the basic solid state physics required to understand how the various types of detectors work. I found the diagrams very clear and the examples well thought through. It is certainly a book that I wish I had had available as an undergraduate when studying detection systems in astronomy.'
