Fiber Optic Sensors: An Introduction for Engineers and Scientists

Discover the latest in fiber optic sensors and their applications in this new edition

Fiber-optic sensors are a powerful class of sensor that uses high-bandwidth optical fibers to convey a large amount of measured information through a single fiber. The advantages of such a mode of measurement are clear: they are intrinsically safe in explosive environments (no sparks), lightweight, compact, robust, and potentially inexpensive. As a result, their uses are manifold for a wide range of physi...
