Bludau:Lichtwellenleiter in Sensorik un

This book describes the fundamentals of waveguide optics and discusses the use of optical fibers in both sensing and optical transmission technology. For the first time, these two major application fields of optical fibers are presented together in a book, appropriately addressing the increasingly important application area of optical fibers in sensor technology. The book covers the essential physical and telecommunications knowledge but avoids overly complex mathematical derivations. Therefore, it is equally suitable as a supplementary textbook for lectures and as an introductory text for anyone who wants to study the field independently.
