Description:
Fiber-optic Fabry-Perot (FFP) sensors boast notable advantages over other optical fiber sensors, including their immunity to electromagnetic interference, high resolution, compact size, and low cost. This book offers a complete overview of 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, instrumentation, and applications.
Review Quotes:
"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 latest developments and potentials of III-nitride materials and devices."
