Title Methods and Materials for Remote Sensing : Infrared Photo-Detectors, Radiometers and Arrays Author(s) Abrahamian, Yuri;Martirossyan, Radik;Gasparyan, Ferdinand;Kocharyan, Karen Publication New York, NY, Springer US, 2004. Description VII, 160 p : online resource Abstract Note Methods and Materials for Remote Sensing: Infrared Photo-Detectors, Radiometers and Arrays presents the basic principles and the guidelines for the design of IR and microwave radiometers intended for the detection of weak electromagnetic signals in a noisy background. Significant attention is paid in this book to the discussion of the origin of the noises and consideration of the physical factors limiting the sensitivity of photo sensors. The physico-chemical properties of narrow-band semiconductors, which are the basic photosensitive materials for the microwave and IR radiometry, are discussed. Also described are the methods for growing the single crystals, epitaxial films and arrays from solid solutions of these compounds for the application in photosensitive detectors. The main goal of Methods and Materials for Remote Sensing: Infrared Photo-Detectors, Radiometers and Arrays is to present the entire material from the unifying physical viewpoint, which will be helpful for the designers of photo-detecting devices, and professionals contributing in various areas of remote sensing ISBN,Price 9781441990259 Keyword(s) 1.
