This book has been written as part of a new series of scientific
text-books being published by Plenum Publishing Company Limited.
The scope of the series is to review a chosen topic in each volume,
and in addition, to present abstracts of the most important
references cited in the text. Thus allowing the reader to
supplement the information contained within this book without have
to refer to many additional publications. This volume is devoted to
the subject of Radiation Detectors, known as Photodetectors, and
particular emphasis has been placed on devices operating in the
infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Although some
detectors which are sensitive at ultraviolet and visible
wavelengths, are also described. The existence of the infrared
region of the spectrum has been known for almost two hundred years
but the development of detectors specifically for these wavelengths
was limited for a long time due to technology limitations and
difficulties in understanding and explaining the phenomena
involved. Significant advances were made during World War II, when
the potential military applications of being able "to see in the
dar ' were demonstrated, and this progress has been maintained
during the last forty years when many major advances have been
achieved, such that the use of photodetectors for both civil and
military applications is now relatively common and can be
inexpensive.
