Beschreibung

Discover the latest in fiber optic sensors and their applications in this new edition

Fiber-optic sensors are a powerful class of sensor that uses high-bandwidth optical fibers to convey a large amount of measured information through a single fiber. The advantages of such a mode of measurement are clear: they are intrinsically safe in explosive environments (no sparks), lightweight, compact, robust, and potentially inexpensive. As a result, their uses are manifold for a wide range of physical and chemical phenomena including temperature, strain, pressure, acoustic fields, position, velocity, rotation, acceleration, electrical current, liquid level, biochemical composition, and chemical concentration.

Fiber Optic Sensors introduces and familiarizes the reader with a broad range of fiber optic sensor techniques and applications. The latest edition of this popular text builds upon the sound introductions to the fundamentals of the topic provided by earlier editions by introducing the latest technologies that have been developed in recent years. Gathering the latest research and publications on the subject in one place, the book provides a comprehensive look at fiber optic sensors with an eye to what’s new in the field.

Readers of Fiber Optic Sensors’ third edition will also find:

• An exploration of the technology within new applications in areas such as aerospace, defense, oil and gas, medical, electric power, manufacturing, environmental, and robotics
• Updated chapters on the emergence of interferometric sensors, distributed sensing, and critical components
• A new and fully-updated comprehensive index

Fiber Optic Sensors is a useful reference for engineers, scientists, technical managers, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students.

ABOUT THE EDITORS

Eric Udd is President of Columbia Gorge Research LLC, a company he founded with the objective of helping move fiber optic sensor technology into field applications. He started his work on fiber optic sensor technology at McDonnell Douglas in 1977 with the invention of the closed‐loop fiber optic gyro and quickly became a manager of a fiber optic sensor group and was later promoted to McDonnell Douglas Fellow‐Senior Staff Manager. In 1993, he left McDonnell Douglas to move his family to Oregon and founded Blue Road Research to continue his fiber optic sensor work. In 2000, Standard MEMS acquired Blue Road Research. In January 2006, he left to found Columbia Gorge Research. Mr. Udd has been the principal investigator on over 100 projects for DOD, NASA, DOE, and many commercial customers. These efforts include the development of rotation, acceleration, acoustic, vibration, pressure, temperature, strain, corrosion, and moisture sensors. The fields of application he supported on these programs involve aerospace, naval applications, ground vehicles, civil structures, medical applications, machining, composite manufacturing, oil and gas exploration and extraction, electric power, and environmental monitoring. Mr. Udd has 54 issued US patents that have often been filed internationally. He has written and presented over 200 papers, chaired over 39 international conferences, and edited and contributed chapters to many books on fiber optic sensors. Mr. Udd is a Fellow and has served as a Director of SPIE—the International Society of Optical Engineering. He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA, now Optica) and a lifetime member of the IEEE and the IEEE Photonics Society. Mr. Udd was the 2009 recipient of the David Richardson Medal from OSA for his work on “Fiber optic sensors and the field of fiber optic smart structures.” His other edited books on fiber sensors are Fiber Optic Smart Structures, Wiley, 1995, and Design and Development of Fiber Optic Gyroscopes, SPIE Press, 2019. He coauthored Field Guide to Fiber Optic Sensors, SPIE Press, 2014, with Bill Spillman.

William B. Spillman, Jr. received his PhD from Northeastern University in 1977 in experimental solid‐state physics. The title of his thesis was “Low‐temperature high‐pressure dielectric measurements of the paraelectric–ferroelectric phase transition in the hydrogen‐bonded arsenates and their deuterated isomorphs.” Since that time, he has worked in industry at the Sperry Corporate Research Center, Geo‐Centers, Inc., Hercules, Inc., and the Goodrich Corporation prior to joining Virginia Tech as Associate Professor of Physics and Director of the Virginia Tech Applied Biosciences Center in 1999. He has now retired from Virginia Tech but remains active as a technical consultant to several firms and as an expert witness. He has been involved with the fields of fiber optic sensing and smart structures since their beginning up to the present day. He has been awarded 46 US and 51 non‐US patents and is the author or coauthor of more than 180 technical publications, 16 book chapters and edited proceedings, and 2 video short courses. He was a coeditor of the CRC Press Sensors Series of Monographs and has served on the editorial boards of the journals Measurement Science & Technology, Optical Engineering, Smart Materials and Structures, Journal of Optics A: Pure and Applied Optics, and the International Journal of Optomechatronics. In 1997, Bill was elected a Fellow of the SPIE. He was elected a Fellow and Chartered Physicist in 2001 and a Chartered Scientist in 2004 by the Institute of Physics in the United Kingdom. In 2006, Bill was given a lifetime achievement award by the SPIE for his work on smart materials and structures.
