Editorial Reviews

Early chapters consider chemical, biochemical, and biomedical applications of optical fiber sensors, with material on chemical sensing using direct spectroscopy, indicator dyes, dynamic light scattering, and "in vivo" medical sensors. Later chapters deal with fiber optic gyros, sensors for condition monitoring and engineering diagnosis, sensors in industrial systems, multiplexing techniques, fiber optics and smart structures, and distributed sensors.
