5.3.3 Detecting Light

The topic would be quite interesting. It is one of the corner stones of modern communication based on light running down fibre optical cables. It encompasses topics like:
  • How the eye works.
  • The Eye and Quantum Efficiency.
  • Photographic film
  • Detecting with photomultipliers
  • Detecting with semiconductors.
  • Bolometers.
  • Single photon detection
  • Detecting high frequency modulations.
  • Specialities
However! The powers that are in their undoubtedly (almost) infinite wisdom decided to shorten the time for lecture courses by 2 - 3 weeks. There is simply not enough tome to look at this topic.
Sorry
