文档介绍：Detection of Light
Detection of Light provides prehensive overview of the important
approaches to photon detection from the ultraviolet to the submillimeter spectral
regions. This expanded and fully updated second edition discusses recently
introduced types of detector such as superconducting tunnel junctions, hot
electron bolometer mixers, and fully Ds, and also includes
historically important devices such as photographic plates. Subject matter from
many disciplines bined into prehensive and unified treatment of the
detection of light, with emphasis on the underlying physical principles. Chapters
have been thoroughly anized to make the book easier to use, and each
includes problems with solutions as appropriate. This self-contained text
assumes only an undergraduate level of physics, and develops understanding as
it is needed. It is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and
will provide a valuable reference for professionals in astronomy, engineering,
and physics.
e rieke is a Professor of Astronomy and ary Sciences at the
University of Arizona. After receiving his . in gamma-ray astronomy from
Harvard University, he focused his work on the infrared and submillimeter
spectral ranges. He has been involved in instrumentation and detectors
throughout his career, applying them to the studies of s, forming stars,
active galactic nuclei, and starburst galaxies. Rieke has also helped to establish
the foundations of infrared astronomy in areas such as calibration and
instrumental techniques, and is author or co-author of over 300 publications in
these areas.
