Fundamentals of infrared detector materials 
Kinch, MA 
2007 
The choice of available infrared (IR) detectors for insertion inot modern IR systems is both large and confusing. The purpose of this volume is to provide a technical database from which rational IR detector selection criteria evolve, and thus clarify the options open to the modern IR system designer. Emphasis will concentrate mainly on high-performance IR systems operating in a tactical environment, although there will also be limited discussion of both strategic environments and low- to medium-performance system requirements.
