Plastic optical fiber sensors cover the fundamentals and applications of a new class of fiber sensors.
Plastic optical fiber.
Plastic optical fiber pof or polymer optical fibre is an optical fiber that is made out of polymer similar to glass optical fiber pof transmits light for illumination or data through the core of the fiber its chief advantage over the glass product other aspect being equal is its robustness under bending and stretching.
With contributions from leading academics in the area this book covers the theory of plastic optical fiber sensors or pofs as well as applications in oil gas biotechnology and energy fields.
The plastic optical fiber using pc as the core material has a heat resistance of 120 c or higher which is 30 c or so higher than that of the plastic optical fiber using pmma as the core material.
