Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This straightforward text examines the scientific principles, characterization techniques, and fabrication methods used to design and produce high quality optical fibers. Polymer Fiber Optics: Materials, Physics, and Applications focuses on the fundamental concepts that will continue to play a role in future research and applications.

This book documents the underlying physics of polymer fibers, particularly aspects of light interaction, and details the practical considerations for a broad range of characterization techniques used to investigate new phenomena. The book presents basic fabrication techniques and protocols that will likely remain useful as new advances address specific processing challenges. The author presents a fresh approach to standard derivations, using numerous figures and diagrams to break down complex concepts and illustrate theoretical calculations. The final chapters draw attention to the latest directions in research and novel applications, including photomechanical actuation, electro-optic fibers, and smart materials.

Book News Annotation:

Recognizing that the science and technology of polymer fiber optics moves faster than printing presses, Kuzyk (physics, Washington State U.) sticks to fundamentals that he hopes will not be out of date soon. Much of the material is standard fare, he says, such as Bragg gratings and photonic crystals, but he has re-derived many of the common results. But there is new material here as well; at least he cannot remember seeing it anywhere else. The topics include fabricating fibers, the theory of refractive index and loss, optical switching, and smart fibers and materials.

Synopsis:

Not only are polymer fibers quickly becoming a technology, the richness of phenomena observed makes polymer fibers a perpetually hot topic of research. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the most fundamental issues in polymer fibers. It introduces the history of polymer fibers and the theory of wave propagation of light in fibers. It presents the rudimentary techniques for making fibers as well as characterization techniques, providing examples of devices such as electro-optic fibers and fiber lasers. This text also devotes a chapter to smart materials and their applications. Additional coverage includes theory of refractive index and loss, transmission, light sources, and amplifiers.
