Book Synopsis The Power- and Energy-handling Capability of Optical Materials, Components, and Systems by : Roger M. Wood
Download or read book The Power- and Energy-handling Capability of Optical Materials, Components, and Systems written by Roger M. Wood and published by SPIE Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation There is a maximum power and energy that you can put into or transmit through your optical system; in many cases, this maximum is well below the laser-induced damage threshold. This tutorial explains the factors and constraints that limit the power- and energy-handling capability of optical materials, components, and/or systems. Because the lasers coming off the production lines are much more stable, efficient, and controlled than in the past, today's engineers often do not have the insight into the technology as was required of first-generation laser engineers. However, important insights into the use and performance of the laser and optical systems can be lost unless we remind ourselves at periodic intervals of the problems our predecessors had to face.

Book Synopsis Fundamentals of Infrared Detector Materials by : Michael A. Kinch
Download or read book Fundamentals of Infrared Detector Materials written by Michael A. Kinch and published by SPIE Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The choice of available infrared (IR) detectors for insertion into modern IR systems is both large and confusing. The purpose of this volume is to provide a technical database from which rational IR detector selection criteria evolve, and thus clarify the options open to the modern IR system designer. Emphasis concentrates mainly on high-performance IR systems operating in a tactical environment, although there also is discussion of both strategic environments and low- to medium-performance system requirements.

Book Synopsis Fundamentals of Polarimetric Remote Sensing by : John Robert Schott
Download or read book Fundamentals of Polarimetric Remote Sensing written by John Robert Schott and published by SPIE Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is for those who need an introduction to polarimetric signals to begin working in the field of polarimetric remote sensing, particularly where the contrast between manmade objects and natural backgrounds are the subjects of interest. The book takes a systems approach to the physical processes involved with formation, collection, and analysis of polarimetric remote sensing data in the visible through longwave infrared. (pBRDF) is then introduced as a way to characterize the reflective and emissive polarimetric behavior of materials. With Dr. Schott's text, you will gain an introduction to polarimetric remote sensing, an appreciation of its issues, and the tools to begin to work in the field.
Book Synopsis Metrics for High-quality Specular Surfaces by : Lionel R. Baker
Download or read book Metrics for High-quality Specular Surfaces written by Lionel R. Baker and published by SPIE Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

The author covers both the traditional visual methods as well as newer (but not necessarily better) computer-aided techniques and describes the metrics adopted by the new ISO standards, including the setting of form and finish tolerances. Key issues of industry are raised, to help stimulate research and development of new methods and standards that blend the best of the old and new approaches to surface assessment.
Book Synopsis Diffractive Optics by : Donald C. O'Shea
Download or read book Diffractive Optics written by Donald C. O'Shea and published by SPIE Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.
