 INTRODUCTION

This article is dedicated to :

  • to the description of the detectors, limiting this description to what is necessary to understand the criteria according to which they can be selected (§ 1 and 2);

  • the way in which they should be implemented and the variants of this implementation according to the characteristics of the information to be observed (§ 3);

  • a quantitative description of some typical applications (§ 4).

For a more detailed description of the detectors themselves, please refer to the specialized articles in the Electronics section of Techniques de l'Ingénieur.

This text is an update of the text written byFrançois DESVIGNES, from which it takes large extracts.
