Author Description

Product Description The authors deliver a complete overview of fiber-optic Fabry-Perot (FFP) sensing technology, integrating the knowledge and tools of multiple fields including optics, sensing, micromachining, instrumentation, physics, and materials science. The main chapters discuss operating principles, microstructures, fabrication methods, signal demodulation, and instrumentation. This treatment spans the full range of structures (intrinsic/extrinsic, multimode fiber vs single-mode fibers), as well as advanced micromachining technologies and major interrogating and multiplexing methods for the formation of multi-point, quasi-distributed sensing networks. Readers will also gain a summary of state-of-the-art applications in oil, gas, and electricity industries, aerospace technology, and biomedicine. Yun-Jiang Rao is Dean of the School of Communication & Information Engineering, and Director of the Key Lab of Optical Fiber Sensing & Communications at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. Zeng-Ling Ran and Yuan Gong are both associate professors at the Optical Fiber Technology Research Laboratory of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. Review "This book strikes a good balance between fundamental materials science and technology developments with diverse topics ranging from epitaxial growth of high-aluminum and high-indium composition III-nitride thin-film and nanostructural materials to development of native GaN substrates, from fundamental understandings of electronic and optical properties to processing techniques which are of central important to improve device performance, and from continued push to new emitter wavelengths to new frontiers in solar cells, intersubband (ISB) optoelectronics, lighting communications, and quantum light emitters…. I believe this book will be a great resource to researchers and engineers, both in academia and industry, to learn and be inspired by the late
