Rogalski A. Infrared and Terahertz Detectors 3ed 2019

Textbook in PDF format

In this third edition about 50% of the content is revised and updated. The arrangement of material will be similar to the previous edition, but several new chapters have been introduced and most of the remaining — reorganized. The new edition give a comprehensive analysis of the latest developments in IR and THz detector technology and a basic insight into the fundamental processes important for evolving detection techniques. The book covers a broad spectrum of detectors, including theory, types of materials and their physical properties, and detector fabrication. The level of presentation is suitable for graduate students in physics and engineering who have received standard preparation in modern solid-state physics and electronic circuits. This book is also of interest to individuals working with aerospace sensors and systems, remote sensing, thermal imaging, military imaging, optical telecommunications, IR spectroscopy, and light detection and ranging
