This authoritative new resource provides an overview of the deployment of various devices in systems in actual field conditions and efficacy established in warfare. The book covers laser and optronic technologies that have evolved over the years to build practical devices and systems for use in Homeland Security and low-intensity conflict scenarios. Readers will be able to assess combat and battle-worthiness of various available devices and systems.
This book covers state-of-the-art and emerging trends in various optoelectronics technologies having applications in Homeland Security. It provides information on operational aspects, deployment scenarios, and actual usage of laser and optoelectronics based technologies for low intensity conflicts, offering insight into the utility of each technology/device for a given operational requirement.
This book evaluates the merits of various laser and optoelectronic sensor based technologies intended for low intensity conflict operations, including counter-insurgency and anti-terrorist operations. It is a useful reference for those specializing in defense electronics and optronics and professionals in the defence industry involved in operation and maintenance of laser based security equipment. Packed with tables, photographs, and a comprehensive list of references in every chapter, this is the only book that covers all topics related to Laser and Optoelectronics devices intended for low intensity conflict operations in a single volume.
Photonics is the physical science of light (photon) generation, detection, and manipulation through emission, transmission, modulation, signal processing, switching, amplification, and sensing. Though covering all light's technical applications over the whole spectrum, most photonic applications are in the range of visible and near-infrared light. The term photonics developed as an outgrowth of the first practical semiconductor light emitters invented in the early 1960s and optical fibers developed in the 1970s. Optoelectronics for Low-Intensity Conflicts and Homeland Security by Anil K. Maini (a consultant in defense technologies and the former director of the Laser Science and Technology Centre, Defence Research and Development Organizaiton, Ministry of Defence, India) is an authoritative new resource that provides an informative overview of the deployment of various devices in systems in actual field conditions and efficacy established in warfare. Optoelectronics for Low-Intensity Conflicts and Homeland Security covers laser and optronic technologies that have evolved over the years to build practical devices and systems for use in Homeland Security and low-intensity conflict scenarios. Readers will be able to assess combat and battle-worthiness of various available devices and systems. Exceptionally well organized and presented, Optoelectronics for Low-Intensity Conflicts and Homeland Security is an ideal curriculum textbook and unreservedly recommended for professional, corporate, governmental, college and university library Contemporary Technology collections in general and Photonic Studies supplemental reading lists in particular. -Midwest Book Review
