Opis

Optical Fiber Sensor Technology covers both the principles and applications of this technology. Drawing upon leading international experts for authoritative chapters reflecting the present state-of-the-art, the book contains essential tutorial material on the fundamentals of optics and optical fibres, reviews of the underlying technology and present and potential future applications.
Extensively illustrated and carefully referenced, this volume will prove an invaluable source for researchers, engineers and advanced students from the fields of optoelectronics/optics and/or measurement and sensors.

Recenzje

` ... I feel that the editors and authors are to be congratulated for successfully accomplishing their goal of compressing the quite diverse field of optical fibre sensor technology into a single, easy-to-read and well illustrated volume aimed at the non-specialist.'
International Journal of Optoelectronics
` ... However, the editors have additionally provided a refreshing angle with this book, by paying particular attention to the enabling technology incorporated into fibre sensors ... The subject matter is very practical and the treatment given in this book is a very thorough and comprehensive one. The book does present many state-of-the-art ideas, but not at the expense of detailed descriptions of enabling background technology. The presentation is excellent throughout with an extensive list of references grouped at the end of each chapter and a good overall subject index. The text is to be highly recommended to both designers, engineers and students alike.'
