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.
