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 physical and chemical phenomena including temperature, strain, pressure, acoustic fields, position, velocity, rotation, acceleration, electrical current, liquid level, biochemical composition, and chemical concentration.

Fiber Optic Sensors introduces and familiarizes the reader with a broad range of fiber optic sensor techniques and applications. The latest edition of this popular text builds upon the sound introductions to the fundamentals of the topic provided by earlier editions by introducing the latest technologies that have been developed in recent years. Gathering the latest research and publications on the subject in one place, the book provides a comprehensive look at fiber optic sensors with an eye to what's new in the field.

Readers of Fiber Optic Sensors' third edition will also find:

• An exploration of the technology within new applications in areas such as aerospace, defense, oil and gas, medical, electric power, manufacturing, environmental, and robotics
• Updated chapters on the emergency of interferometric sensors, distributed sensing, and critical components
• A new and fully-updated comprehensive index

Fiber Optic Sensors is a useful reference for engineers, scientists, technical managers, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students.

在這本新版書籍中，您將會發現最新的光纖感測器及其應用。光纖感測器是一種強大的感測器類型，使用高頻寬的光纖通過單根光纖傳輸大量的測量信息。這種測量方式的優勢是明顯的：它們在易爆環境中具有固有的安全性（無火花），重量輕、體積小、堅固耐用且潛在地價格低廉。因此，它們的應用範圍廣泛，可應用於各種物理和化學現象，包括溫度、應變、壓力、聲場、位置、速度、旋轉、加速度、電流、液位、生化組成和化學濃度。

《光纖感測器》介紹並使讀者熟悉各種光纖感測器技術和應用。這本受歡迎的書籍的最新版在早期版本提供的基礎知識的基礎上，引入了近年來發展的最新技術。該書將最新的研究和出版物集中在一個地方，全面介紹了光纖感測器的最新動態。

《光纖感測器》第三版的讀者還將找到：
- 在航空航天、國防、石油和天然氣、醫療、電力、製造、環境和機器人等領域中新應用技術的探索
- 關於干涉感測器、分布式感測和關鍵組件的更新章節
- 全新且完全更新的綜合索引

《光纖感測器》對於工程師、科學家、技術經理以及高年級本科生和研究生來說是一本有用的參考書。
