Description
Electro-Optics (EO) is a technology area that involves the generation, modulation, detection, measurement, and display of optical radiation by electrical means. EO includes lasers, photometry, infrared, and other types of imaging systems. This newly revised and updated edition of a classic Artech House book offers a current and complete introduction to the analysis and design of EO imaging systems. The Second Edition provides numerous updates and brand new coverage of today's most important areas, including the integrated spatial frequency approach and a focus on the weapons of terrorists as objects of interest.
