Synopsis

The purpose of this book is to serve as an introduction to the new and emerging field of fibre optic sensor technology that is an outgrowth of the rapidly growing telecommunication and optoelectronic industries. The book is divided into three parts. The first part describes the basic components that are an integral part of fibre optic sensors and systems. The second part covers fibre optic sensor technology and the third part discusses fibre optic sensor applications and systems. Each chapter has been written independently, so the book can serve as an introduction to the field or a reference book for the more experienced user.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

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.

Quatrième de couverture

A comprehensive introduction to this fast growing technology

This book provides an introduction to the rapidly advancing and expanding field of fiber optic sensors, with chapters contributed by internationally recognized experts. Each of the three sections Basic Components, Technology, and Applications offers a stand–alone primer on a key area of the field. Together, they give engineers, scientists, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates a comprehensive resource on fiber optic sensors.

Initial chapters cover optical fibers, light sources, and detectors and optical modulators, introducing the fundamental building blocks of fiber optic sensors and pointing out the many connections between these elements and fiber optic sensor technology. Subsequent chapters cover:

• Extrinsic or hybrid fiber optic sensors
• Intensity sensors for monitoring temperature, position, and other environmental aspects
• The Fabry–Perot based fiber optic sensor
• The Mach–Zehnder interferometer
• The Sagnac interferometer and fiber gyroscopes
• Displacement fiber optic sensors
• Polarization sensors
• Industrial applications of fiber optic sensors
• Fiber optic smart structures

Pooling the expertise of leading professionals, Fiber Optic Sensors supplies an integral resource for understanding a key area of optical science and telecommunications.
