Fiber Optic Measurement Techniques is an indispensable collection of key optical measurement techniques essential for developing and characterizing today’s photonic devices and fiber optic systems. The book gives comprehensive and systematic descriptions of various fiber optic measurement methods with the emphasis on the understanding of optoelectronic signal processing methodologies, helping the reader to weigh up the pros and cons of each technique and establish their suitability for the task at hand.

Carefully balancing descriptions of principle, operations and optoelectronic circuit implementation, this indispensable resource will enable the engineer to:

• Understand the implications of various measurement results and system performance qualifications
• Characterize modern optical systems and devices
• Select optical devices and subsystems in optical network design and implementation
• Design innovative instrumentations for fiber optic systems

The 2nd edition of this successful reference has been extensively updated (with 150 new pages) to reflect the advances in the field since publication in 2008 and includes:

• A new chapter on fiber-based optical sensors and spectroscopy techniques
• A new chapter on measurement uncertainty and error analysis

Fiber Optic Measurement Techniques brings together in one volume the fundamental principles with the latest techniques, making it a complete resource for the optical and communications engineer developing future optical devices and fiber optic systems.

• The only book to combine explanations of the basic principles with latest techniques to enable the engineer to develop photonic systems of the future
• Careful and systematic presentation of measurement methods to help engineers to choose the most appropriate for their application
• The latest methods covered, such as real-time optical monitoring and phase coded systems and subsystems, making this the most up-to-date guide to fiber optic measurement
