This lecture covers the principles of optical spectroscopy, focusing on photodetectors and their figures of merit. Topics include quantum efficiency, noise equivalent power, and normalized detectivity. The lecture also discusses different types of detectors such as photodiodes, bolometers, and infrared detectors, along with their operating principles and characteristics.
