George Rieke9780521816366, 0-521-81636-X

A course text or self-study tutorial that bridges between general physics and the advanced detection of photons. Students are assumed to have completed a semester or two of college-level physics with calculus; the necessary radiometry and solid state physics are reviewed in the first chapter. The first edition was published in 1994.
