Over the last 37 years, particular interest has been directed towards exploring the
characteristics of the optical environment for sensing, giving rise to what would now be one …

This book explains physical principles, unique benefits, broad categories, implementation
aspects, and performance criteria of distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS). For each kind …

Germania glass was prepared from high purity GeO_2 powder. Refractive-index dispersion
was used to calculate material dispersion and to provide a model for representing the …

Chromatic dispersion of a single-mode optical fiber only 1 m long is measured by a newly
proposed interferometric method. Interference fringes are produced by two laser beams, one …

Die Daseinsberechtigung der optischen Nachrichtentechnik ist selbst in einer Welt, die der
Technik latent zweifelnd gegenübersteht, einsehbar zu begründen: Sie schafft …

A comprehensive review of state-of-tie-art optical fiber and preform index-profiling methods
has been prepared. The advantages and disadvantages of the various approaches are …

Aus den Besprechungen:"... Bei den Grundlagen werden die wichtigsten Begriffe an
