Machine generated contents note: 1. Introduction -- 2. Intrinsic photoconductors -- 3. Extrinsic photoconductors -- 4. Photodiodes and other junction-based detectors -- 5. Amplifiers and readouts -- 6. Arrays -- 7. Photoemissive detectors -- 8. Photography -- 9. Bolometers and other thermal detectors -- 10. Visible and infrared coherent receivers -- 11. Submillimeter- and millimeter-wave heterodyne receivers -- 12. Summary.

Summary: "Detection of Light provides a comprehensive overview of the important approaches to photon detection from the ultraviolet to the submillimeter spectral regions. This expanded and fully updated second edition discusses recently introduced types of detector such as superconducting tunnel junctions, hot electron bolometer mixers, and fully depleted CCDs, and also includes historically important devices such as photographic plates. Subject matter from many disciplines is combined into a comprehensive and unified treatment of the detection of light, with emphasis on the underlying physical principles. Chapters have been thoroughly reorganized to make the book easier to use, and each includes problems with solutions as appropriate. This self-contained text assumes only an undergraduate level of physics, and develops understanding as it is needed. It is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and will provide a valuable reference for professionals in astronomy, engineering, and physics."--Jacket.
