Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vaezi-Nejad (electronics and measurements, U. of Greenwich, London, England) has assembled a textbook that will be useful to graduate students and engineers on advanced solid state and fiber optic sensors, with each chapter written by a specialist in that area, and a lengthy introduction by the editor. The topics covered are: measurement and instrumentation systems based on optical techniques; amplitude, wavelength, phase and polarization modulating sensors; amorphous semiconductor photoreceptors and X-ray image sensors; dielectrophoretic sensors for microbiological applications; electrically conducting polymers for sensing volatile chemicals, and thin film (CIAIPc) phthalocyanine gas sensors. c.
