Résumé

The complete, practical sourcebook for laser sensing and measurement

This is a systematic, up-to-date guide to laser instrumentation for sensing and measurement in contemporary scientific, industrial, automotive and avionics applications. Dr. Silvano Donati presents clear design rules and useful hints for practical implementation of a wide variety of laser instruments. For each type of instrument, the author outlines basic principles, physical limitations, reasonable performance expectations, optical design issues, and electronic signal handling--illustrated with block schemes. Coverage includes:

Interferometers for sub-micrometer displacement measurements
Nanometer vibrometers and structural integrity testing
Doppler velocimeters for anemometry of fluids
Range finders and anti-collision systems
Non-contact wire-diameter and particle-diameter sizing
Alignment and level meter apparatuses
Ring laser and optical fiber gyroscopes
Optical fiber sensors

Thorough and accessible, Electro-Optical Instrumentation offers balanced coverage of both optical and electronic issues and challenges. It will give working electronic engineers and scientists the knowledge they need to design virtually any electro-optical instrumentation system.

L'auteur - Silvano Donati

Silvano Donati has been a full professor of Optoelectronics at the University of Pavia, Italy, since 1980. A graduate of the University of Milan, Italy, he has more than 30 years' experience with photodetectors and their applications in electro-optical instrumentation and fiberoptic communications. His special interests include the time and frequency responses of PMTs and APDs, performance of image-CCDs, and such advanced photodetection techniques as squeezed-state and injection detection. He has authored more than 160 papers and holds 10 patents. Dr. Donati is the founder and current chair of the IEEE-LEOS Italy chapter and belongs to IEEE (senior member), AEI (meritorious member), OSA, SPIE, and IEMS.
