In the newly revised third edition of Building Electro-Optical Systems: Making It All Work, renowned Dr. Philip C. D. Hobbs delivers a birds-eye view of all the topics you’ll need to understand for successful optical instrument design and construction. The author draws on his own work as an applied physicist and consultant with over a decade of experience in designing and constructing electro-optical systems from beginning to end.

The book’s topics are chosen to allow readers in a variety of disciplines and fields to quickly and confidently decide whether a given device or technique is appropriate for their needs. Using accessible prose and intuitive organization, Building Electro-Optical Systems remains one of the most practical and solution-oriented resources available to graduate students and professionals.

If you’re doing your own circuit designs, you should own all three. There’s more to it than competence in basic circuit design. Electro-optical instruments present a different set of problems from other signal processing applications, and that means that there’s lots of stuff – pretty basic stuff – that hasn’t been thought of yet, or hasn’t been taken seriously enough yet. That’s an opportunity for you to do ground-breaking electronic design work, even if you’re not primarily a circuit designer; not everybody with a circuit named after him can walk on water, after all, even in the more highly populated fields. If we can gain enough intuition and confidence about the basic characteristics of circuitry, we can try stepping out of the boat ourselves. Accordingly, we’ll concentrate on some important but less well known aspects that we often encounter in electro-optical instrument design, especially in high dynamic range RF circuitry. You’ll need to know about Ohm’s Law, inductive and capacitive reactance, serial and parallel LC resonances, phase shifts, feedback, elementary linear and digital circuit design with ICs, and what FETs, bipolar transistors and differential pairs do.

The newest edition includes comprehensive revisions that reflect progress in the field of electro-optical instrument design and construction since the second edition was published. It also offers approximately 350 illustrations for visually oriented learners. Readers will also enjoy:

A thorough introduction to basic optical calculations, including wave propagation, detection, coherent detection, and interferometers
Practical discussions of sources and illuminators, including radiometry, continuum sources, incoherent line sources, lasers, laser noise, and diode laser coherence control
Explorations of optical detection, including photodetection in semiconductors and signal-to-noise ratios
Full treatments of lenses, prisms, and mirrors, as well as coatings, filters, and surface finishes, and polarization

Perfect for graduate students in physics, electrical engineering, optics, and optical engineering, Building Electro-Optical Systems is also an ideal resource for professional designers working in optics, electro-optics, analog electronics, and photonics.
