Light on physics and math, with a heavy focus on practical
applications, Optical, Acoustic, Magnetic, and Mechanical Sensor
Technologies discusses the developments necessary to realize the
growth of truly integrated sensors for use in physical, biological,
optical, and chemical sensing, as well as future micro- and
nanotechnologies. Used to pick up sound, movement, and optical or
magnetic signals, portable and lightweight sensors are perpetually
in demand in consumer electronics, biomedical engineering, military
applications, and a wide range of other sectors. However, despite
extensive existing developments in computing and communications for
integrated microsystems, we are only just now seeing real
transformational changes in sensors, which are critical to
conducting so many advanced, integrated tasks. This book is
designed in two sections-Optical and Acoustic Sensors and Magnetic
and Mechanical Sensors-that address the latest developments in
sensors. The first part covers: Optical and acoustic sensors,
particularly those based on polymer optical fibers Potential of
integrated optical biosensors and silicon photonics Luminescent
thermometry and solar cell analyses Description of research from
United States Army Research Laboratory on sensing applications
using photoacoustic spectroscopy Advances in the design of
underwater acoustic modems The second discusses: Magnetic and
mechanical sensors, starting with coverage of magnetic field
scanning Some contributors' personal accomplishments in combining
MEMS and CMOS technologies for artificial microsystems used to
sense airflow, temperature, and humidity MEMS-based micro hot-plate
devices Vibration energy harvesting with piezoelectric MEMS
Self-powered wireless sensing As sensors inevitably become
omnipresent elements in most aspects of everyday life, this book
assesses their massive potential in the development of interfacing
applications for various areas of product design and
sciences-including electronics, photonics, mechanics, chemistry,
and biology, to name just a few.
