This book describes the latest development in optical fiberdevices, and their applications to sensor technology. Optical fibersensors, an important application of the optical fiber, haveexperienced fast development, and attracted wide attentions inbasic science as well as in practical applications. Sensing isoften likened to human sense organs. Optical fiber can not onlytransport information acquired by sensors at high speed and largevolume, but also can play the roles of sensing elementitself. Compared with electric and other types of sensors,fiber sensor technology has unique merits. It has advantagesover conventional bulky optic sensors, such as combination ofsensing and signal transportation, smaller size, and possibility ofbuilding distributed systems. Fiber sensor technology has beenused in various areas of industry, transportation, communication,security and defense, as well as daily life. Its importancehas been growing with the advancement of the technology and theexpansion of the scope of its application, a growth this book fullydescribes.
