Summary: Book Description
Review: Fiber Bragg gratings are flexible, cost-effective and highly efficient, with a vast range of potential applications. This timely new work provides a comprehensive description of the principles and practical applications of this latest technology, which has the potential to revolutionize telecommunications and significantly impact optical fiber sensing. Here the authors explain the underlying physics and practical aspects in a clear and unambiguous manner. This is a must-have reference for engineers, researchers and academics in this active and rapidly growing field. The breadth of coverage is impressive, the treatment is rigorous and is accompanied by extensive and up-to-date reference lists. Key topics covered include photosensitivity, properties, inscribing gratings, detailed applications coverage in both telecommunications and sensing, and a look at the impact of this technology on the marketplace. Contents: Introduction. Photosensitivity in Optical Fibers. Properties of Fiber Bragg Gratings. Inscribing Bragg Gratings in Optical Fibers. Fiber Bragg Grating Theory. Applications of Bragg Gratings in Communications. Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors. Impact of Fiber Bragg Gratings. Andreas Othonos is an Assistant Professor of Physics in the Department of Natural Sciences at the University of Cyprus. He received his Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Physics and his B.Sc. in Mathematical Physics from the University of Toronto. Kyriacos Kalli is a Research Fellow in the Department of Natural Sciences at the University of Cyprus. He received his Ph.D. in Physics and his B.Sc. in Theoretical Physics from thr University of Kent at Canterbury. He is a member of the Institute of Physics, the Optical Society of America, and the American Institute of Physics.

Summary: Excellent introduction to fiber Bragg gratings
Review: I knew nothing about fiber Bragg gratings before I picked up this book. Othonos and Kalli cover just about everything you would want to know about fiber Bragg gratings, from the physics of the fiber itself and how the gratings are created, to applications (including some of the more exotic ones). The material is presented in an understandable manner, with sufficient text descriptions - not just equations that you have to figure out yourself. If you're just beginning to learn about fiber Bragg gratings, I recommend this book highly.

Summary: An excellent coverage of Bragg gratings
Review: This book gives an excellent account of fiber Bragg gratings. The chapters on communications and sensing applications provided detailed insight into both areas. The communications arena has received much coverage recently, but until this book there has been very little discussion on sensing applications. A chapter addresses this issue and provides an excellent balance between fine points and overview. There is also a detailed discussion of photosensitivity-again something I found particularly useful, giving the reader a fair chance to follow this complicated field. I particularly liked the clear tables and charts. The remainder of the book was classified in a pretty standard form, with grating manufacture, properties and theory. Again, the authors should be commended on their clear presentation of useful information. As an example of the book's value, I generated the same graphs as presented in the theory section by using the equations therein, and have since generated many different grating structures and profiles-very nice indeed! Finally, it was a pleasant surprise to find a book with an up to date reference list. A suggestion for the publishers regarding subsequent editions, please space the information over more pages, by other book standards this should have been nearer 500 pages.
