Book Description
Since the technology has moved strongly into a number of different areas a textbook of this sort could be used by a wide variety of academic departments including physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, aerospace engineering and bioengineering. To make the second edition as widely appealing as possible a series of significant upgrades were made.
1. The book is structured to support a variety of academic programs and it can also be used as a general reference by practicing engineers and scientists.
2. The introductory chapter has been revised to outline the new content of the second edition and provide a overview of the current status of fiber optic sensor technology.
3. A new, extensive chapter has been added covering fiber optic grating sensor technology and its application to aerospace, civil structures, oil and gas and power generating applications.
4. A second new chapter has been added on the emerging field of biomedical fiber optic sensors. This is one of the most rapidly growing fields of use for fiber optic sensors and with rising health costs and medical advances promises to be an important area for many years to come.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“This revision of the successful first edition is designed to fill the needs of introductory and advanced courses on Fiber Optic Sensors while still offering a wealth of information to the professional. Included are problems, applications, and a solutions manual for instructors.” (Yahoo! Finance US, 15 February 2011)
From the Inside Flap
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 sensorthe most commonly used fiber optic sensorcovering its theory and technology. The second provides a comprehensive analysis of the emerging field of fiber optic biosensors.

About the Author
ERIC UDD is President of Columbia Gorge Research, a company he founded in 2005 to promote fiber optic sensor technology. With over thirty years of experience in the fiber optic sensor field, he has made fundamental contributions to fiber rotation, acceleration, acoustic, pressure, strain, vibration, temperature, humidity, and corrosion sensors. Previously at McDonnell Douglas, Udd managed more than thirty government and commercial programs on fiber optic sensors. He has more than 150 publications and more than forty U.S. patents. Udd is a Fellow of McDonnell Douglas, SPIE, and the OSA. He received the David Richardson Medal from the OSA for work on fiber optic sensors and smart structures.
WILLIAM B. SPILLMAN Jr, PhD, has worked in the field of fiber optic sensors since its inception in the 1970s. He helped to conceive and develop fiber optic sensors based variously on frustrated total internal reflection, relative fiber motion, relative motion of two diffraction gratings, the photoelastic effect, modal interference, magneto-optic materials, and linearly chirped diffraction gratings. He has more than 180 publications and 46 U.S. patents. Dr. Spillman is a fellow of the SPIE and the Institute of Physics, and is the recipient of a Simmonds Precision Founders Award and a lifetime achievement award from the SPIE for his work in smart structures and materials.
