CRC Press Optical Fiber Sensors: Advanced Techniques and Applications

Optical Fiber Sensors: Advanced Techniques and Applications delivers comprehensive coverage of physical principles and cutting-edge developments in optical fibre sensing technology. This volume explores both emerging research areas and established methods, including photonic crystal fibre sensors, micro- and nanofibre sensing, liquid crystal photonics, acousto-optic effects in fibre, and fibre laser-based sensing systems. The book also covers well-established techniques such as surface plasmon resonance sensors and interferometric fibre sensors, alongside polymer-based approaches. Designed for engineers, researchers, and practitioners, this reference provides the fundamental understanding needed to grasp the design, operation, and real-world applications of fibre optic sensing systems. Part of the Devices, Circuits, and Systems series (volume 36), it serves as an essential resource for professionals seeking to master both theoretical foundations and practical implementations of advanced optical fibre sensing technologies.
