Chapter 13
e continuous technological development in the optics communications arena is a
reality due to many reasons, certainly one of them being the erce competition between
telecom operators worldwide. is competition is expected to continue to drive the
decline in prices of optical components and systems bringing, therefore, very positive
consequences to the optical ber sensor systems. Moreover, the growing deployment of
optical ber networks, such as to the households via the ber-to-the-home technology,
may allow new interesting applications to the ber-optic sensor technology. us,
apromising future ...
