Fiber Optic Sensors Fundamentals And Applications

In early industrial applications single point fiber optic sensors were used as an alarm to indicate the absence or presence of an object.

Fiber optic sensors fundamentals and applications. 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. Optical methods are some of the oldest and best established techniques for sensing chemical analytes and have formed the basis for many chemical sensors. 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.
