Description
Recent developments in fiber optic and waveguide sensing are sparking great interest in applications for the technology in chemical and biochemical analysis. Based on a review of more than 2500 recent research papers on the subject, this comprehensive book updates you on the latest innovations in this field, and describes new applications in medicine, biotechnology, immunosensors, process control, environmental science, and related areas. With numerous examples, clear definitions, over 200 illustrations, and 265 equations, the book helps even non-specialists understand the "how and why" behind optical chemical sensing, and provides experienced chemical and biochemical engineers with a single resource summarizing the latest applications of the technology. Includes more than 1000 references for further study.
