Features: This book is a comprehensive work on optical fibers, light sources, optical detectors, and the principles and characteristics of fiber optic sensor systems used in fiber optic sensors. The main contents include: the structural, optical, and transmission characteristics of sensing fibers; the basic characteristics of light sources used in fiber optic sensors, such as gas discharge sources, pulsed xenon lamps, semiconductor sources, and laser sources; and the optoelectronic mechanisms and spectral characteristics of thermal detectors, photomultiplier tubes, photodiodes, and photoconductive detectors. From an application perspective, the book discusses the principles, characteristics, and general design methods of distributed fiber optic temperature sensors, radiative fiber optic temperature sensors, fluorescent fiber optic temperature sensors, and optoelectronic hybrid fiber optic sensors. The book also dedicates a section to explaining the mechanism of fluorescent fiber optic sensors, their applications in marine environmental monitoring, and the principles and design of absorption-type fiber optic gas sensors. This book is suitable for teachers and graduate students in the fields of optics, precision instruments, and optoelectronic engineering, as well as researchers in related engineering and technology fields.
