TY - CHAP AU - Vasily Kushpil ED - Sanka Gateva Y1 - 2012-03-23 PY - 2012 T1 - Avalanche Process in Semiconductor Photo Detectors in the Context of the Feedback Theory N2 - In this book some recent advances in development of photodetectors and photodetection systems for specific applications are included. In the first section of the book nine different types of photodetectors and their characteristics are presented. Next, some theoretical aspects and simulations are discussed. The last eight chapters are devoted to the development of photodetection systems for imaging, particle size analysis, transfers of time, measurement of vibrations, magnetic field, polarization of light, and particle energy. The book is addressed to students, engineers, and researchers working in the field of photonics and advanced technologies.
