  • A History of Light and Colour Measurementby Sean F. Johnston

    CRC Press 2001; US$ 89.95

    Judging the brightness and colour of light has long been contentious. This is a history of the hidden workings of physical science - a technical endeavour embedded in a social context. It argues that this "undisciplined" subject may be typical not only of 20th-century science, but of its future. more...

  • Optical Radiometryby Albert Parr; Raju Datla; James Gardner

    Elsevier 2005; US$ 285.00

    This book deals with the practice of Optical Radiation Measurements with introductory material to introduce the topics discussed. It will be most useful for students, scientists and engineers working in any academic, industrial or governmental projects related to optical radiation. The book contains chapters that treat in detail the procedures and techniques for the characterization of both sources and detectors to the highest degree of accuracy and reliability. It has a chapter devoted specifically to optical measurements of laser sources and fiberoptics for communication and a chapter devoted to uncertainty in measurement and its treatment with real examples of optical measurements. The book contains introductory materials that will allow... more...

  • Evaluating Measurement Accuracyby Semyon G. Rabinovich; Michael Rabinovich

    Springer 2010; US$ 129.00

    The goal of Evaluating Measurement Accuracy: A Practical Approach is to present methods for estimating the accuracy of measurements performed in industry, trade, and scientific research. Although multiple measurements are the focus of current theory, single measurements are the ones most commonly used. This book answers fundamental questions not addressed by present theory, such as how to discover the complete uncertainty of a measurement result.In developing a general theory of processing experimental data, this book, for the first time, presents the postulates of the theory of measurements. It introduces several new terms and definitions about the relationship between the accuracy of measuring instruments and measurements utilizing these... more...
