Fiber Optic

The chapters in this volume are by scholars/experts working in academia in Taiwan, Egypt, Israel, Germany and Japan. The contents are intended to provide a common forum for researchers, scientists and engineers throughout the world to exchange ideas and gain knowledge in the areas of fiber sensing technologies.

This book focuses on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique covering fibre optic sensor research. It highlights recent advancements in geometric feature-based fibre optic SPR sensors for chemical/biochemical/biosensor applications. The contents also discuss the principle of the SPR sensing technique as well as various designs of fibre optic SPR probes for improving sensor sensitivity. It also includes numerous examples of SPR-based fibre optic sensors with various geometric (such as U-type, taper type, D-type, and interferometric-based) sensors. This volume will be a useful reference to those in academia and industry especially researchers with useful information focusing on fibre optic SPR sensors.

Neuroactive effectively blends several electronic music styles into a sound that appeals to many different tastes, from synthpop to industrial to electronica. The sharp, punchy electronic soundscapes combine with the deep, melodic vocals for a sound that will take this band to the top. The voice of Karjalainen suits the hyper-electronic soundscapes of the 1999 Neuroactive better; synthpop with a techno/ambient feeling.

This reference presents a comprehensive account of the recent advances and research in fiber optic sensor technology.
