Fiber Optic Sensors: An Introduction for Engineers and Scientists - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

ERIC UDD is President of Columbia Gorge Research, a company he founded in 2005 to promote fiber optic sensor technology. With over thirty years of experience in the fiber optic sensor field, he has made fundamental contributions to fiber rotation, acceleration, acoustic, pressure, strain, vibration, temperature, humidity, and corrosion sensors. Previously at McDonnell Douglas, Udd managed more than thirty government and commercial programs on fiber optic sensors. He has more than 150 publications and more than forty U.S. patents. Udd is a Fellow of McDonnell Douglas, SPIE, and the OSA. He received the David Richardson Medal from the OSA for work on fiber optic sensors and smart structures.

WILLIAM B. SPILLMAN Jr, PhD, has worked in the field of fiber optic sensors since its inception in the 1970s. He helped to conceive and develop fiber optic sensors based variously on frustrated total internal reflection, relative fiber motion, relative motion of two diffraction gratings, the photoelastic effect, modal interference, magneto-optic materials, and linearly chirped diffraction gratings. He has more than 180 publications and 46 U.S. patents. Dr. Spillman is a fellow of the SPIE and the Institute of Physics, and is the recipient of a Simmonds Precision Founders Award and a lifetime achievement award from the SPIE for his work in smart structures and materials.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The most comprehensive primer on fiber optic sensors, now in a new edition

Now updated to include the most recent developments in this rapidly advancing field, Fiber Optic Sensors fills the needs of both introductory and advanced courses on the topic while also offering a wealth of practical information to the professional. Drawing upon the wisdom of internationally recognized experts, this Second Edition provides thorough coverage of demonstrated sensor concepts as well as areas of future fiber optic sensor development and application.

Initial chapters cover optical fibers, light sources, and detectors and optical modulators, while subsequent chapters cover:

• Extrinsic or hybrid fiber optic sensors

• Intensity sensors for monitoring physical parameters

• The Fabry-Perot fiber optic sensor

• The Mach-Zehnder interferometer

• Sagnac interferometer and fiber gyroscopes

• Displacement fiber optic sensors

• Polarization sensors

• Industrial applications of fiber optic sensors

• Fiber optic smart structures

• Fiber Bragg grating sensors

• Fiber biosensors

Two new extensive chapters have been added to this edition. The first is on the FBG sensor?the most commonly used fiber optic sensor?covering its theory and technology. The second provides a comprehensive analysis of the emerging field of fiber optic biosensors.
