A rigorous account of the physics and engineering of diode and fibre laser gas sensor design, with key applications.
A rigorous account of the physics and engineering principles of diode and fibre laser gas sensor design, based on tuneable diode laser and fibre optic spectroscopy with key applications. Includes computer programs for modeling and simulation.An invaluable text for the teaching, design, and development of gas sensor technology. This excellent resource synthesizes the fundamental principles of spectroscopy, laser physics, and photonics technology and engineering to enable the reader to fully understand the key issues and apply them in the design of optical gas absorption sensors. It provides a straightforward introduction to low-cost and highly versatile near-IR systems, as well as an extensive review of mid-IR systems. Fibre laser systems for spectroscopy are also examined in detail, especially the emerging technique of frequency comb spectroscopy. Featuring many examples of real-world application and performance, as well as MATLAB computer programs for modeling and simulation, this exceptional work is ideal for postgraduate students, researchers, and professional engineers seeking to gain an in-depth understanding of the principles and applications of fibre-optic and laser-based gas sensors.
'For years, I have been looking forward to a book like this. It puts together all the important elements needed for laser and fiber optic spectroscopy, in particular for gas sensing applications. With lots of scientific insights, rigorous theoretical analysis and design details, students, researchers and practicing engineers would definitely benefit from reading it.' Wei Jin, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
'Laser and Fiber Optic Gas Absorption Spectroscopy is an enormously valuable survey of modern spectroscopic techniques, covering fundamentals of spectroscopy with the same care is the most recent spectrometer designs.
