Praise for the First Edition
"Now a new laboratory bible for optics researchers has joinedthe list: it is Phil Hobbs's Building Electro-Optical Systems:Making It All Work."
--Tony Siegman, Optics & Photonics News
Building a modern electro-optical instrument may be the mostinterdisciplinary job in all of engineering. Be it a DVD player ora laboratory one-off, it involves physics, electrical engineering,optical engineering, and computer science interacting in complexways. This book will help all kinds of technical people sortthrough the complexity and build electro-optical systems that justwork, with maximum insight and minimum trial and error.
Written in an engaging and conversational style, this SecondEdition has been updated and expanded over the previous editionto reflect technical advances and a great many conversations withworking designers. Key features of this new edition include:
* Expanded coverage of detectors, lasers, photon budgets, signalprocessing scheme planning, and front ends
* Coverage of everything from basic theory and measurementprinciples to design debugging and integration of optical andelectronic systems
* Supplementary material is available on an ftp site, includingan additional chapter on thermal Control and Chapter problemshighly relevant to real-world design
* Extensive coverage of high performance optical detection andlaser noise cancellation
Each chapter is full of useful lore from the author's years ofexperience building advanced instruments. For more background, anappendix lists 100 good books in all relevant areas, introductoryas well as advanced. Building Electro-Optical Systems: Making ItAll Work, Second Edition is essential reading for researchers,students, and professionals who have systems to build.
