Course Description:
Covers the basic concepts necessary for understanding, designing, and evaluating electro-optical systems including modern infrared technology. Emphasis is on considering the system as a whole including radiation sources, the optical collection system, and the detection process. Performance characteristics and system limitations are derived for a variety of imaging and nonimaging systems, as well as for laser devices. Systems to be analyzed may include standard commercial television, night vision devices, laser rangers, thermal imagers, satellite imagers (LANDSAT, SPOT), optical communications, and guidance systems.
