Holst's Practical Guide to Elector-Optical System by Gerald C. Holst
Manufacturers find that many potential customers ask the same
questions (a.k.a. frequently asked questions or FAQs). The
answers appear in application notes, catalogs, and on the
Internet. This practical guide is a compendium of those answers
(one-stop shopping). The answers are provided in graphs,
equations, or diagrams. An engineering approach is taken, the
equations may be approximations, but the region of applicability
is clearly stated. Most pages have a box at the bottom that
highlights a fact, "rule-of-thumb," "back-of-the-envelope"
equation, or a limitation. Exceeding the limitation can be
called a "gotcha."
The
mathematics in Chapter 1 supports the data analysis in Chapter
19. Radiation theory, optics, detectors, and electronics are in
Chapters 2 through 6. The differences between analog and digital
formats are in Chapter 7. Chapters 8 and 9 provide display
parameters and those characteristics of the human visual system
that apply to target detection and image interpretability.
System analysis (via the modulation transfer function) is in
Chapter 10 with several design examples. The sampling theorem
(Chapter 11) must be used with extreme care when discussing an
imaging system. There are a myriad of resolution metrics
(Chapter 12). Atmospheric transmission and range performance is
found in Chapters 13 and 14. System performance predictions can
only be ascertained with carefully designed test setups and test
procedures (Chapter 15). While Chapters 7 though 12 and 14 apply
to imaging systems, electro-optical systems includes lasers,
laser radar, and fiber optics (Chapters 16 though 18).
