Introduction to Wavefront Sensors
Joseph M. Geary

from Knovel:
This practical book on wavefront sensing, with emphasis on principles and techniques, is ideal for students, lab technicians, engineers, scientists, and project managers.

Polymer Photovoltaics - A Practical Approach
Frederik C. Krebs

from Knovel:
This book presents the process of creating a polymer solar-cell device and is intended to be a practical guide in the laboratory for the experimental solar-cell scientist involved with synthesis, device preparation, processing, or device characterization.

from Goodreads.com:
This book is intended to be a practical guide in the laboratory for the experimental solar-cell scientist whether he or she is involved with synthesis, device preparation, processing, or device characterization. Useful to all scientists working practically in the field, the book presents the process of creating a polymer solar-cell device beginning with a description of materials, including how they are made and characterized, followed by how the materials are processed into devices and films, and how these are characterized. From there, the status of two emerging fields of polymer solar cells are described: degradation and stability and large-scale processing.

Building Electro-Optical Systems - Making It All Work (2nd Edition)
Philip C. Hobbs

from Knovel:
This book is essential reading for researchers, students, and professionals who have electro-optical systems to build.



Fundamentals of Infrared Detector Materials
Michael A. Kinch

from Knovel:
The purpose of this text is to provide a technical database from which rational infrared detector selection criteria evolve, and thus clarify the options open to the modern infrared system designer.

Elements of Modern Optical Design
Donald C. O'Shea

from Knovel:
This textbook serves both as a basis for a formal course in optical design and as a tutorial for individual readers.
