Thermal Infrared Sensors [PDF ebook] 
Theory, Optimisation and Practice

Destek

The problems involved in designing optimal infrared (IR) measuring
systems under given conditions are commensurately complex. The
optical set-up and radiation conditions, the interaction between
sensor and irradiation and the sensor itself, determine the
operation of the sensor system. Simple calculations for solving
these problems without any understanding of the causal
relationships are not possible.
Thermal Infrared Sensors offers a concise explanation of
the basic physical and photometric fundamentals needed for the
consideration of these interactions. It depicts the basics of
thermal IR sensor systems and explains the manifold causal
relationships between the most important effects and influences,
describing the relationships between sensor parameters such as
thermal and special resolution, and application conditions.
This book covers:
* various types of thermal sensors, like thermoelectric sensor,
pyroelectric sensors, microbolometers, micro-Golay cells and
bimorphous sensors;
* basic applications for thermal sensors;
* noise – a limiting factor for thermal resolution and
detectivity – including an outline of the mathematics and noise
sources in thermal infrared sensors;
* the properties of IR sensor systems in conjunction with the
measurement environment and application conditions;
* 60 examples showing calculations of real problems with real
numbers, as they occur in many practical applications.
This is an essential reference for practicing design and optical
engineers and users of infrared sensors and infrared cameras. With
this book they will be able to transform the demonstrated solutions
to their own problems, find ways to match their commercial IR
sensors and cameras to their measurement conditions, and to tailor
and optimise sensors and set-ups to particular IR measurement
problems. The basic knowledge outlined in this book will give
advanced undergraduate and graduate students a thorough grounding
in this technology.
