Initial chapters cover optical fibers, light sources and detectors and optical modulators, introducing the fundamental building blocks of fiber optic sensors and pointing out the many connections between these elements and fiber optic sensor technology. The second section focuses primarily on extrinsic or hybrid fiber optic sensors, with chapters covering intensity sensors for monitoring temperature, position and other environmental aspects; the Fabry-Perot based fiber optic sensor; grating and displacement fiber optic sensors; and polarization. Also discusses (intrinsic) fiber optic sensors where sensing occurs in the interaction of a light beam with an environmentally perturbed optical fiber. The final section illustrates the potential of fiber optic sensor technology through specific applications. Table of Contents Reviews: |
