From the reviews: The book is divided into six parts. The authors cover a wide range of strongly related techniques. I recommend them to novice optical sensor researchers as introduction into the subject. Experienced researchers will benefit from the overview of techniques related to the own subject and the enclosed comprehensive references. a valuable introduction into the subject for the novice and a reference work for the experienced researcher presenting the state of the art in guided-wave sensors and trends of future development.
