Fibre optics is an important constituent of modern information technology. One major economic benefit offered by fibre optics is the high information transmission rate at low cast per circuit-km. Since the late 1970s, industrially advanced nations around the world have been striving to deploy fibre optics in almost every sector of communication, including computer network and data links. As an important byproduct of this phenomenal progress, a new class of ultra-sensitive optical sensors and devices based on fibre optics have emerged, which are being developed for use in the industrial and biomedical sectors. This book provides semi-tutorial presentations of the fundamentals of this emerging technology as applied to telecommunication and sensor development.
