Books by E. L. (University of Arizona) Dereniak

This text examines the theory and application of infrared detectors. It describes the optical detection process and the electronics involved in mimicking the eye. It further describes how well optical systems detect radiation.

Optical Radiation Detectors, Eustace L. Dereniak and Devon G. Crowe Offers a comprehensive, integrated treatment of optical radiation detectors, discussing their capabilities and limitations. Background material on radiometry, noise sources, and detector physics is introduced, followed by more detailed discussions of photon detectors, thermal detectors, and charge transfer arrays of detectors.
