Abstract:

This lesson aims at giving basic elements of optronic captors conception. First, we remind the main applications of optronics ; the steps to follow to conceive such systems and the big family of captors. Then we describe the most useful notions of radiometry and propagation to calculate the optical signal received by the detector. Finally, we end the calculation of the noise signal report, and the evaluation of such captors, under the form of an energetic assessment.
