From
the review of prof. S.Cova (Alta Frequenza 10, 1998,n.3, pp.58-59). . .i libri
disponibili sui fotorivelatori si contano sulla punta delle dita . . . e
risultano solo parzialmente soddisfacenti perche' solo in parte aiutano a
rendersio ragione delle scelte tecniche, capire i limiti dei dispositivi e
dell'elettronica associata . . . Il libro di S. Donati porta un valido
contributo a colmare questa lacuna. . . Il risultato _ una trattazione vasta e
esauriente,. . . vengono chiariti gli effetti fisici, analizzati in profondit_
gli aspetti statistici nella formazione di segnale e rumore, vengono infine
trattati circuiti e tecniche elettroniche per processare il segnale. . .Il
libro _ consigliabile anche agli esperti: posso attestare che mi ha dato modo
di riflettere su quanto ci sia da imparare anche sugli argomenti che meglio
crediamo di conoscere. . .
[2] S. Donati: "Photodetectors - Devices, Circuits and
Applications" Prentice Hall,
From the review of C.Vinegoni and J.D.Gautier, Optics and Photonics
News, Sept.2000, pp.43-44: "it's rare to find a book on
the multifaceted topics of photodetection. The author ... has met the
challenge. . . . a textbook for students taking a photodetection course,
it will also be useful to any researcher or PhD student in photonics. In the
reviewers opinion, Ch.5 is the best . . . it deals with semiconductor
photodiodes, APDs, phototransistors and photoconductors, and includes several
circuitry schemes very useful from the practical point of view to anyone
working with this kind of device. Two very interesting sections are devoted to
non-demolitive detection and squeezed-state detection.
The overall impression is that of a well-produced book with good
figures...the only shortcoming is the absence of any exercise for students .
.In conclusion, this is a very valuable book both for the newcomer to the field
and to researchers. Both graduate and undergraduate students will certainly
find it useful and stimulating".
From the review of a first scientist reporting to the Publisher: I
think this is a very good book. Dr Donati has done an excellent job in
assembling material from a wide range of detector and imaging applications . .
. From the perspective of the technical reader, Dr. Donati is a very effective
communicator.. . His description of detection limits in Ch.3 is the best that I
have seen. I also think that the section on squeezed states is excellent. In
the areas that I am most familiar with, the material that is presented is very
accurate.The level of presentation is consistent thorough. I am impressed that
Dr. Donati has been able to maintain a level that a novice in the field can
follow easily while also making it interesting for seasoned experts. Dr. Donati
has provided many excellent charts and a lot of valuable reference data. In my
opinion this book has two primary strengths: breadth and excellent treatments
of fundamental properties. I know of no other book that is even close to this
book in the number of topics covered and the amount of detail presented.
From the review of a second scientist reporting to the Publisher: "There
are many places . . . where the author presents a more detailed technical
discussion than other related books do on the same topic. . . These factors,
coupled with the author's extensive background in this area should almost
guarantee success. . This book looks like one that I could personally benefit
from".
