RADIOMETRY & PHOTOMETRY BIBLIOGRAPHY
In 1969 Fred Nicodemus authored a paper “Optical Resource Letter
on Radiometry” (JOSA 59,243). It was reprinted in an AIP “Radiometry”
reprint collection in 1981. This
bibliography is intended to update and supplement the 1969 version. The topic breakdown is more in line with the
courses that I teach than the original.
Individual papers are for the most part bypassed in favor of books,
significant book chapters, monographs or reprint collections. Most of these references are in my personal
collection.

The major handbooks
offer one or more chapters dealing with optical radiation detectors. These include the following:
Accetta, J.S. & D.L.
Shumaker, eds, Infrared and Electro-Optical
Systems Handbook,
SPIE (1993). See Vol. 3,
Chapter 4.
Bass, M., ed. Handbook of Optics, Vol. 1, McGraw-Hill (1995). Parts 5, 6 and 7 contains chapters
15 thru 25, all pertinent to detectors and detection.

Wolfe, W.L., ed. “Handbook of Military Infrared
Technology,” ONR,
Wolfe, W.L. & Zissis, G.,
eds., “The Infrared Handbook,” ERIM and SPIE (1978) Chapters 11-16.
Several books in the series “Semiconductors and Semimetals,” ed. R.K.
Willardson & A.C. Beer, are relevant. Vols. 5 and 12 both treat infrared
detectors, and Vol. 11 deals exclusively with solar cells. Vol. 47 deals with “Uncooled
Infrared Imaging Array Systems.”
Similarly, the series “Advances in Electronics and Electron Physics”
is rich in pertinent articles. Numerous
volumes deal with imaging detector conference proceedings, while other have significant feature articles. Most notable are volumes 34 and 55.
Another rich source for detector
information, and probably the best for assessment of the current state-of-art, are the Proceedings of the various conferences of the
SPIE - The International Optical Engineering Society. They have several major conventions per year,
each having one or more conferences on detectors. Compilations of the best proceedings papers
along with seminal papers are often gathered in their “Milestones” series.
Several detector manufacturers
publish manuals, collections of applications notes, etc. Particularly attractive are the photomultiplier tube books by Burle
