About the Book

In the past, infrared imaging has been used exclusively for military applications. In fact, it can also be used in a wide range of scientific and commercial applications. However, its widespread use was impeded by the scarcity of the imaging systems and its high cost. There is now an emerging infrared technology based on quantum well intersubband transition in III-V compound semiconductors. With the new technology, these impedances can be eliminated and a new era of infrared imaging is in sight. This book is designed to give a systematic description on the underlying physics of the new detectors and other issues related to infrared imaging.
