Infrared Design Examples

Author(s): William L. Wolfe

Published: 1999

PDF ISBN: 9780819480224 | Print ISBN: 9780819433190

DESCRIPTION

This tutorial covers infrared design examples in considerable detail, building on principles presented in an earlier text, 'Introduction to Infrared System Design' (SPIE PRESS Vol. TT24). The text explores a range of problems illustrating several design issues, with applications in military, industry, aeronautics, space, and medicine, among others.
