Contents
1. Geometrical optics -- Introduction -- Electromagnetic spectrum -- Rays -- Imaging concepts -- Aperture stop, marginal ray, and F/# -- Field stop, chief ray, and field of view -- Thick lenses and lens combinations -- Image quality and diffraction -- Image quality and aberrations -- Materials considerations -- 2. Modulation transfer function -- Introduction -- Transfer functions -- Resolution -- MTF calculations -- 3. Radiometry -- Introduction -- Solid angle -- Flux-transfer calculations -- 4. Sources of radiation -- Introduction -- Blackbody radiation -- Emissivity -- 5. Detectors -- Introduction -- Cutoff wavelength -- Cooling requirements -- Spectral responsivity -- Frequency response and noise-equivalent bandwidth -- Noise terminology -- Shot noise and generation-recombination noise -- Johnson noise and 1/f noise -- Noise specification of detectors: noise-equivalent power -- Normalized detectivity D* -- Photovoltaic detectors -- Schottky-Barrier detectors -- Photoconductive detectors -- Photoemissive detectors -- Bolometric detectors -- Pyroelectric detectors -- 6. Lasers -- Introduction -- Directionality, monochromaticity, and brightness -- Gaussian beams -- Temporal laser-beam measurements -- Spatial laser beam measurements.
Summary
This text introduces imaging, radiometry, sources, detectors, and lasers, with special emphasis on flux-transfer issues. The first-order approach enables students to make back-of-the-envelope calculations needed for initial setup of optical apparatus. It is intended for students and newcomers to electro-optics.
