The most comprehensive primer on fiber optic sensors, now in a new edition

Now updated to include the most recent developments in this rapidly advancing field, Fiber Optic Sensors fills the needs of both introductory and advanced courses on the topic while also offering a wealth of practical information to the professional. Drawing upon the wisdom of internationally recognized experts, this Second Edition provides thorough coverage of demonstrated sensor concepts as well as areas of future fiber optic sensor development and application.

Initial chapters cover optical fibers, light sources, and detectors and optical modulators, while subsequent chapters cover:

  • Extrinsic or hybrid fiber optic sensors
  • Intensity sensors for monitoring physical parameters
  • The Fabry-Perot fiber optic sensor
  • The Mach-Zehnder interferometer
  • Sagnac interferometer and fiber gyroscopes
  • Displacement fiber optic sensors
  • Polarization sensors
  • Industrial applications of fiber optic sensors
  • Fiber optic smart structures
  • Fiber Bragg grating sensors
  • Fiber biosensors

Two new extensive chapters have been added to this edition. The first is on the FBG sensor—the most commonly used fiber optic sensor—covering its theory and technology. The second provides a comprehensive analysis of the emerging field of fiber optic biosensors.

Eric Udd is President of Columbia Gorge Research, a company he founded in 2005 to promote fiber optic sensor technology. His work in this area since 1977 has involved perofrmance on over 100 projects, 54 patents and over 200 papers. Udd is a Fellow of SPIE, and OSA (Optica). William Spillman, Jr, PhD, is an independent R&D consultant and a senior scientist at Columbia Gorge Research. With Eric Udd and others, he helped found the field field of fiber optic sensing in the late 1970’s. He has 46 US patents, 182 publications and 5975 citations (Google Scholar).
