### 5.3.3 Detecting Light

| The topic would be quite interesting. It is one of the corner stones of modern communication based on light running down fibre optical cables. It encompasses topics like: How the eye works. The Eye and Quantum Efficiency. Photographic film Detecting with photomultipliers Detecting with semiconductors. Bolometers. Single photon detection Detecting high frequency modulations. Specialities
| However! The powers that are in their undoubtedly (almost) infinite wisdom decided to shorten the time for lecture courses by 2 - 3 weeks. There is simply not enough tome to look at this topic. Sorry
