This book describes important recent developments in fiber optic
sensor technology and examines established and emerging
applications in a broad range of fields and markets, including
power engineering, chemical engineering, bioengineering,
biomedical engineering, and environmental monitoring. Particular
attention is devoted to niche applications where fiber optic
sensors are or soon will be able to compete with conventional
approaches. Beyond novel methods for the sensing of traditional
parameters such as strain, temperature, and pressure, a variety
of new ideas and concepts are proposed and explored. The
significance of the advent of extended infrared sensors is
discussed, and individual chapters focus on sensing at THz
frequencies and optical sensing based on photonic crystal
structures. Another important topic is the resonances generated
when using thin films in conjunction with optical fibers, and the
enormous potential of sensors based on lossy mode resonances,
surface plasmon resonances, and long-range surface exciton
polaritons. Detailed attention is also paid to fiber Bragg
grating sensors and multimode interference sensors. Each
chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the subject under
discussion.
