Publisher: VCH Publishers, 1994

This book describes the benefits of using a new type of solid-state multichannel detector, i.e., the charge-transfer device, as it is used for chemical imaging and analysis.
About the authors: M. Bonner Denton, co-editor, is the czar of charge- transfer devices. He is currently President of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy. Jonathan Sweedler, co-editor, is the recipient of many awards recognizing his excellent contributions (publications and patents) in the field of charge-transfer device detectors The publishing of this book coincides with the introduction by numerous commercial vendors of complete spectroscopy systems which include charge-transfer devices (CTD).
This book points to the potential uses of CTD. Essentially CTDs allow chemists to get a great deal more out of their instruments; they allow chemists to avoid false positive (and false negative) results.
CTDs are the future way in all kinds of spectroscopic instrumentation, including Raman, atomic emission and luminescence spectroscopy, atomic source diagnostics, and planar chromatography.

From the Publisher:

This is both an overview and a detailed description of the benefits and applications of a new type of solid-state multichannel detector, the charge-transfer device (CTD) as it is used for chemical imaging and analysis. CTDs improve the quality of existing optical techniques and allow for entirely new types of measurements. This book describes the operation, uses, and characteristics of CTDs (CTDs) in a variety of applications, including system design and expected performance. The contributors are experts in their field, and in many cases they are the researchers who first applied CTD technology to a particular task.

From Book News:

A guide for the scientific user of charge-transfer devices, surveying the many types and formats available and their operation, characteristics, and use in a variety of spectroscopic and imaging contexts. Also explains their application, impact, and potential in such areas as planar separations, analytical luminescence spectroscopy, and plasma diagnostics. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
