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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFiber Optic Sensors \u003c\/i\u003eintroduces 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReaders of \u003ci\u003eFiber Optic Sensors’ \u003c\/i\u003ethird edition will also find:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn exploration of the technology within new applications in areas such as aerospace, defense, oil and gas, medical, electric power, manufacturing, environmental, and robotics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUpdated chapters on the emergence of interferometric sensors, distributed sensing, and critical components\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA new and fully-updated comprehensive index\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFiber Optic Sensors \u003c\/i\u003eis a useful reference for engineers, scientists, technical managers, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEric Udd \u003c\/b\u003e is President of Columbia Gorge Research, a company he founded in 2005 to promote fiber optic sensor technology.
