Von der hinteren Coverseite

Explains the physical principles of optical fiber sensors and makes their practical applications readily and easily accessible

This all-encompassing book provides a systematic treatment of optical fiber sensors, presenting the subject from every angle with great breadth and detail, offering readers a deep and well-rounded understanding of the technology and its expanding applications.

Fundamentals of Optical Fiber Sensors begins with basic physical principles, progresses to sensing mechanisms, and moves on to take an in-depth look at applications. Emphasizing the structure and optical characteristics of optical fiber sensors, it employs clear figures and fundamental formulas to explain their mechanisms. Featuring a summary of the basics and tools at the end of each chapter, extensive references, and a comprehensive subject index, this unique and timely guide:

• Reviews the essential principles of optical fiber, including the electromagnetic theory and ray optics
• Explains fiber sensitivities and fiber devices
• Describes fiber gratings of various structures and their applications in sensor technology
• Explores distributed fiber sensors, based on elastic and inelastic optical scatterings in fibers
• Introduces fiber sensors with special applications, including fiber gyroscopes, fiber hydrophones, Faraday effect sensors, and sensors based on surface plasmon
• Examines extrinsic fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer sensors

Fundamentals of Optical Fiber Sensors is an excellent introduction to this topic for senior undergraduates and graduate students as well as a convenient reference for scientists and engineers working in the field.
