Principles of Biophotonics, Volume 2

Light emission, detection, and statistics

af Gabriel (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Popescu

Principles of Biophotonics, volume two describes detection and statistical representation of optical fields. Beginning by placing the visible spectrum in the context of the electromagnetic frequency range, this presentation stresses how thin of a sliver is normally called the optical spectrum. In addition to describing properties of light with technical accuracy, the most common radiometric quantities are introduced, and conversion to photon-based quantities is explicitly presented.
