Summary: "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 are planned. 1. The book will be structured to support a variety of academic programs 2. Fundamental components and optical concepts will be supported by a new chapter on sensor concepts and upgrades/updates of the chapters on optical fiber, light sources, detectors and modulators. 3. Each of the existing fiber optic sensor chapters will be updated with major upgrades of the fiber etalon and intensity sensor based chapter that will split into two. A new chapter will be introduced on fiber grating sensors and Brillouin distributed sensing. 4. The "application" chapters of the first edition will be updated and new application chapters introduced on fiber biosensors and fiber optic civil structures. The fiber optic smart structure chapter will be extensively rewritten. 5. Questions will be added to the chapters that will serve to support traditional undergraduate and graduate level courses"-- Provided by publisher.Summary: "The book will be structured to support a variety of academic programs"-- Provided by publisher.
