Optical Radiation Detectors (Wiley Series in Pure and Applied Optics) 1st Edition

I have owned this book since 1988.The book is an excellent referecne book that details the basic physics as well as characteristics (needed for design)of different types of radiation detectors.The discussion of theory behind "detectivity",figure of merit,speed of response, signal to noise ratio, various sources of noise in semiconductor detectors, etc. are key items in any design. The info. on Focal plane array type detectors, shottky based diode structrues, PIN, APD, photoconductors are precise .I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning physics of semiconductor detectors structures. ref.: [...]
