For those involved with the design and analysis of electro-optical systems, the book outlines current and future ground, air and spacebourne applications of electro-optical systems. It describes their performance requirements and practical methods of achieving design objectives.

A complete and up-to-date introduction to the analysis and design of infrared and electro-optical (EO) imaging systems. The text details the principles and components of the Linear Shift-Invariant (LSI) infrared and electro-optical systems and combines it with calculus and domain transformations to achieve a successful imaging system analysis. Ultimately, the steps in this book lead to results in quantitative characterizations of performance metrics such as modulation transfer functions, minimum resolvable temperature difference; minimum resolvable contrast, and probability of object discrimination.

This book demonstrates how to model the entire target acquisition process using either visible or infrared imaging systems. Beginning with an overview on electro-optical system design, the text introduces the complexity of various design considerations. A discussion of the differing types of visible and infrared sensors outlines basic wavelength issues and provides definitions of baseline hardware solutions.

A concise volume exploring the basic fundamentals of modern laser communication systems, this book provides comprehensive information from a system designer's point of view. The book provides a thorough review of history, architectures, design methodologies, optical design guidelines, and tracking and communication processes. It explains exactly how to design a laser communication system and its potential applications.

A guide to the emerging technologies now being considered for use in tomorrow's fibre subscriber loop systems, this book provides a rundown on what the technologies are, describes how they work, and then shows how to apply them to increase system performance, cut design time and lower costs.

This study is designed for graduate technicians working in laboratories or quality test offices, as well as academics and industrial researchers in optical communications and optical sensors and students attending postgraudate courses on optical engineering.

This reference presents a system analysis of the fibre-optic gyro. Drawing on 15 years of research and developments, it describes the concepts that have emerged as the preferred solutions for obtaining a practical device, and provides access to the information needed to know about optics, single-mode fibre optics and integrated optics to understand the fibre gyro.

This reference blends the concepts of optics and microwave theory. It is logically organized in two main parts, the first section deals with network analysis, while the second concentrates on signal analysis. As a whole, the text focuses on the fundamental aspects of optical networks. Methodology, rather than analysis, is the focus of the book. The discussion provides the tools you need to perform your own in-depth analysis of optical networks.
