New Book: An Introduction to Optoelectronic Sensors


A recently published book on Optoelectronic Sensors contains several chapters of interest for SHM. The volume is edited by Giancarlo C. Righini, Antonella Tajani and Antonello Cutolo.

This book offers an overview of the technologies and applications of optoelectronic sensors. Based on the R&D experience of more than 70 engineers and scientists, mainly from the Italian academic and industrial community in this area, this book provides a broad description of the state-of-the-art optoelectronic technologies for sensing. The most innovative approaches, such as the use of photonic crystals, squeezed states of light and microresonators for sensing, are considered. Application areas range from environment to medicine and healthcare, from aeronautics, space, and defence to food and agriculture.

There are chapters on Fiber Bragg Gratings, Distributed sensing and one chapter dedicated to the application of fiber optic sensors for Strucutral HEalth Monitoirng.

A few chapters can be previewed on Google Books and on Amazon.
