This revised and updated edition encompasses contemporary developments in a rapidly evolving technology. Replacing the term "CCD array" with "solid state array" throughout the text reflects a braoder scope allowing for greater flexibility in sensor type (such as CCD, CID, and CMOS). Many chapters have been rewritten, including expanded sections on antibloom drain, dark current reduction, spectral responsivity, dynamic range, and signal-to-noise ratio.

This wide-ranging summary of bioelectronics provides the state of the art in electronics integrated and interfaced with biological systems in one single book. It is a perfect reference for those involved in developing future distributed diagnostic devices, from smart bio-phones that will monitor our health status to new electronic devices serving our bodies and embedded in our clothes or under our skin. All chapters are written by pioneers and authorities in the key branches of bioelectronics an...

For decades, the surface-plasmon-polariton wave guided by the interface of simple isotropic materials dominated the scene. However, in recent times research on electromagnetic surface waves guided by planar interfaces has expanded into new and exciting areas. In the 1990's research focused on advancing knowledge of the newly discovered Dyakonov wave. More recently, much of the surface wave research is motivated by the proliferation of nanotechnology and the growing number of materials available...

As a complement to The Beginnings of Electron Microscopy, Advances in Imaging and Electron Physics is pleased to present Volume 96, The Growth of Electron Microscopy. This comprehensive collection of articles surveys the accomplishments of various national groups that comprise the International Federation of Societies of Electron Microscopy (IFSEM).

This book is intended as a graduate/post graduate level textbook for courses on high-speed optical networks as well as computer networks. The ten chapters cover basic principles of the technology as well as latest developments and further discuss network security, survivability, and reliability of optical networks and priority schemes used in wavelength routing. This book also goes on to examine Fiber To The Home (FTTH) standards and their deployment and research issues and includes examples in...

A review of optical frequency division multiplexing (FDM) network technologies, this work offers complete coverage of this field, from optical devices to network architecture, design and operation. The book presents a background to the history of lightwave technology for communications, and presents a comparison of optical FDM network technologies and the time division multiplexing (TDM) scheme. It explains how optical FDM networks are achieved, and their consequent advantages. The book also pre...

This unique resource explains the fundamental physics of semiconductor nanolasers, and provides detailed insights into their design, fabrication, characterization, and applications. Topics covered range from the theoretical treatment of the underlying physics of nanoscale phenomena, such as temperature dependent quantum effects and active medium selection, to practical design aspects, including the multi-physics cavity design that extends beyond pure electromagnetic consideration, thermal manage...

Significant advances in optical metrology have fuelled the development of innovative techniques for the technology in a wide range of applications. Underlying the principles behind up-to-date optical measurement techniques, this work uses example diagrams and step-by-step equations, showing how these methods are used in real-world applications, from laser remote-sensing and vibration measurement, to providing the data necessary to develop computer models. The book also aims to prepare the reader...

Since its inception in 1966, the series of numbered volumes known as Semiconductors and Semimetals has distinguished itself through the careful selection of well-known authors, editors, and contributors. The"Willardson and Beer"Series, as it is widely known, has succeeded in publishing numerous landmark volumes and chapters. Not only did many of these volumes make an impact at the time of their publication, but they continue to be well-cited years after their original release. Recently, Professo...

Explore this comprehensive introduction to the foundations of photodetection from one of the leading voices in the field The newly revised Photodetectors: Devices, Circuits and Applications delivers a thoroughly updated exploration of the fundamentals of photodetection and the novel technologies and concepts that have arisen since the release of the first edition twenty years ago. The book offers discussions of established and emerging photodetection technologies, including photomultipliers, the...

Analog Optical Links presents the basis for the design of analog links. Following an introductory chapter, there is a chapter devoted to the development of the small signal models for common electro-optical components used in both direct and external modulation. However this is not a device book, so the theory of their operation is discussed only insofar as it is helpful in understanding the small signal models that result. These device models are then combined to form a complete link. With thes...

Focuses on applications and case studies, putting theory into context. The content is matched to course components, making it relevant to undergraduates and postgraduates in this field. The author is highly respected in this field and well known for his clear presentation of teaching materials and thoroughness in research. Designed specifically for students on electrical and electronic engineering, physics, optoelectronics, and communications systems degrees.

Nonlinear Optics is an advanced textbook for courses dealing with nonlinear optics, quantum electronics, laser physics, contemporary and quantum optics, and electrooptics. Its pedagogical emphasis is on fundamentals rather than particular, transitory applications. As a result, this textbook will have lasting appeal to a wide audience of electrical engineering, physics, and optics students, as well as those in related fields such as materials science and chemistry.
