3.0 out of 5 stars Fair books, dated on subjects and free at DTIC, March 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Infrared and Electro Optical Systems Handbook [8 Volume Set) (Hardcover)

A fair set of books, but dated because of breakthroughs in FPA's and remote sensing technology. All eight volumes are free for downloading from DTIC in PDF format.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential resource for anyone working with IR optics, July 26, 2000

This review is from: The Infrared and Electro Optical Systems Handbook [8 Volume Set) (Hardcover)

Although the price of the set may seem steep, it is well worth it for any engineer working with infrared optics given the amount of time it will save. All the chapters are written by various contributing authors, but all seem fairly well written and carefully edited. The focus is on military applications of infrared optics, which is the field I work in at the US Army Research Laboratory, but those dealing with environmental remote sensing and other fields may also find it quite useful. The amount of detail about military infrared target acquisition, surveillance, and countermeasure systems is incredible and the authors are respected authorities in the military research and development community.
