Reviews
"The level of the texts are such that they are most appropriate to those undertaking research in the area but the content is sufficiently accessible for the knowledgeable reader to glean much of value from them. The new worker in the field will find them an excellent platform on which to build a research career in this rapidly expanding field." -- Society of Glass Technology, Vol. 41 No.2, April 2000
Description
This hands-on problem-solving guide brings together the knowledge of international authors in the field to create a state-of-the-art picture of optical fiber sensors. It include technology overviews, surveys applications, and describes measurement and implementation techniques. Helpful real-world case studies are also featured. Actual sensor performance examples provide guidance on measurement evaluations, environmental conditions, performance limitations, potential applications, and process-compatible formats, devices, and systems.
Optical Fiber Sensors IV: Applications, Analysis, and Future Trends provides detailed coverage on how dramatically fiber sensors are impacting key areas such as:
