Research during the first year of the USC optical computing project demonstrated that multivariate optical elements (MOEs) could be designed, fabricated and characterized. Results of the first MOE tests revealed that near-theoretical performance could be obtained in the simple situations tested. New tools for designing MOEs were developed that bypass many anticipated problems. The limits of precision due to fabrication errors were assessed. Process control algorithms for fabrication that incorporate design tools periled fabrication of MOEs with performance exceeding those expected theoretically for real fabricated devices; this was achieved by redesigning MOEs on the fly to offset deposition errors. Design concepts were developed for imaging tools based on MOEs, and initial demonstrations were begun for imaging applications. Mid-infrared, near-infrared and Raman spectra were acquired for nearly 50 organophosphorus compounds to explore the regions of the spectral that are most definitive for their detection.

Optical coatings found in almost all optical instruments and devices are frequently the ultimate determinants of performance. This text is a rigorous review of the theory, manufacture and use of thin-film coatings, ranging from basic electromagnetic ideas to the operation of coating plants. The book collects data from a wide range of sources and will provide a useful introductory text for graduates in physics, optics and electrical engineering, technicians and specialists in optics, aerospace and the scientific instrument industry, newcomers to the field, and an invaluable reference for the wide range of specialists using thin-film coatings. This edition is a complete revision of the first, containing much new material and now using SI units.

This new up-to-date edition of the successful handbook and ready reference retains the proven concept of the first, covering basic and advanced methods and applications in infrared imaging from two leading expert authors in the field. All chapters have been completely revised and expanded and a new chapter has been added to reflect recent developments in the field and report on the progress made within the last decade. In addition there is now an even stronger focus on real-life examples, with 20% more case studies taken from science and industry. For ease of comprehension the text is backed by more than 590 images which include graphic visualizations and more than 300 infrared thermography figures. The latter include many new ones depicting, for example, spectacular views of phenomena in nature, sports, and daily life.

Seven years have passed since the publication of the previous edition of this book. During that time, sensor technologies have made a remarkable leap forward. The sensitivity of the sensors became higher, the dimensions became smaller, the sel- tivity became better, and the prices became lower. What have not changed are the fundamental principles of the sensor design. They are still governed by the laws of Nature. Arguably one of the greatest geniuses who ever lived, Leonardo Da Vinci, had his own peculiar way of praying. He was saying, “Oh Lord, thanks for Thou do not violate your own laws. ” It is comforting indeed that the laws of Nature do not change as time goes by; it is just our appreciation of them that is being re?ned. Thus, this new edition examines the same good old laws of Nature that are employed in the designs of various sensors. This has not changed much since the previous edition. Yet, the sections that describe the practical designs are revised substantially. Recent ideas and developments have been added, and less important and nonessential designs were dropped. Probably the most dramatic recent progress in the sensor technologies relates to wide use of MEMS and MEOMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems and micro-electro-opto-mechanical systems). These are examined in this new edition with greater detail. This book is about devices commonly called sensors. The invention of a - croprocessor has brought highly sophisticated instruments into our everyday lives.
