5.0 out of 5 stars Fiber Optic Chemical Sensors and Biosensors Volume 1, September 3, 2006
This review is from: Fiber Optic Chemical Sensors and Biosensors, Volume 1 (Hardcover)
The development of optical and fiber optical sensors for chemical and clinical parameters is a tremendously fast growing area. These devices have been named "optrodes" and, later "optodes" by Lubbers in 1975. Paticularily in combination with fiber optic waveguides (an offshoot of the communication industry), optodes offer quite new possibilities for remote and in vivo sensing, and for inexpensive disposable probes. After many years of worldwide activities it appeared timely to publish a book on the subject. It is intended to cover the various aspects of optical chemical sensors including spectroscopy, waveguide theory, physical and analytical chemistry, biochemistry and biophysics, medicine, opto-electronic components, and matrial sciences.

In view of the interdisciplinary character of optode technology, it is obviously necessary that experts from various fields contribute to such a monograph. Because I am aware od the fact that in these days, nobody wants to read a two volume book, it is built up in a "modular structure" so that the reader can select certain chapters when interested in a particular subject. Many chapters are self consistent. To get information, for instance, on the art of fluorescence-based pH sensors and their configurations, it would suffice, at first, to read chapters on Spectroscopic Methods, Sensing Schemes, and pH Sesors. Inevitably, however, there will be some overlap.

--- excerpt from book's preface

Volume 1 contains Chapters 1-8 which are:

1) Introduction

2) Spectroscopic Techniques

3) Sensing Schemes

4) Guided Wavwe Electromagnetism and Opto-Chemical Snsors

5) Intrinsic Fiber Optic Chemical Sensors

6) Instrumentation of Fiber Optic Chemical Sensors

7) Sensor Chemistry

8) Fiber Optic pH Sensors

Chapters 9-21 are contained in volume 2.
