Optical Fiber Sensors Components and Subsystems

Following on from Optical Fiber Sensors, Volumes 1 and 2, this third volume discusses the significance and applications of recent fibre optic development, including: Fiber Bragg grating and its impact on the basis of sensing technology; optical fibre amplifiers and their emergence as an important optical source when configured as a laser and as a broadband photoluminescent device; and the developments of distributed sensing.

Professor Brian Culshaw is professor of electronics at Strathclyde University, Scotland. He earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from University College London. Professor John Dakin is the leader of the optical fiber sensors group within the optoelectronics research center at the University of Southampton, England.
