Infrared-visible-ultraviolet Devices and Applications

This second edition discusses basic semiconductors' characterization, packaging, and function. It provides a mini-encyclopedia of infrared optoelectronic applications and reviews semiconductor physics so that engineers can acquire necessary background for designing infrared optoelectronic devices. For this volume, Dr.
Birtalan, technical unit VP of OPTEK, joins the editorship. The applications section is now divided by industry such as: industrial, automotive, military, consumer, medical, telecommunications, and SSL. The section on silicon photo sensors is also largely updated to reflect the technological advancement in silicon electronics in the last 20 years
