Fiber optic sensors fundamentals principles and applications webcast. As the technology evolved the functionality. The intent of this book is to provide the reader with an overall background in fiber optic sensors. Buy fiber optic sensors.

A self contained discussion of fiber optics unlike any others available. Macdougall alexis mendez this fourth edition of fiber optic sensors is revised and updated to include the new sensing technologies emerging in broad commercial use with a focus on scattering based distributed sensing systems. In addition a chapter was added to describe biophotonic sensing systems and their applications. In early industrial applications single point fiber optic sensors were used as an alarm to indicate the absence or presence of an object.

The basics of operating principle are discussed in detailed and the various types of optical fiber sensors. The primary focus is on the optical sensing mechanisms and various optical configurations associated with a broad range of sensing functions that include switches counters displacement temperature pressure flow. Krohn trevor w. This fourth edition of fiber optic sensors is revised and updated to include the new sensing technologies emerging in broad commercial use with a focus on scattering based distributed sensing systems.
