Description
Book SynopsisThis study discusses the methods used to embed optical fibres in modern high-strength, lightweight composite materials. It also examines the ingress and egress of optical fibres, and more specialized application concerns, including use of the Fabry-Perot interferometer.
Trade Review"Overall, this is a very good book which provides comprehensive discussion " (Sensor Review, Vol.21 No.3, 2001)
