Sinossi
Not a comprehensive compendium of infrared (IR) but an up-to-date, pragmatic guide to general IR engineering, technology, practices, and principles as they apply to modern imaging systems. It covers passive components and systems for IR imaging from one to 50 microns. It is concerned with instruments for astronomy, military applications, meteorology, environmental monitoring, resource management, law enforcement, surveillance, commercial and industrial uses. It includes material on the manufacturing process, management, cost, schedule, weight, and power. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
