Optical fiber current and voltage sensors
Optical Fiber Current and Voltage Sensors is the first book to provide a complete, comprehensive and up to date treatment of the domain of fiber optic and polarimetric sensors, covering fundamental operating principles, characteristics, and construction. Written by one of the most recognised experts in polarimetric sensing, Optical Fiber Current and Voltage Sensors begins by covering the fundamentals of polarized light, as well as essential sensor components. The author then goes on to outline various sensor types and their applications, with a focus on sensors for electric phenomena. The chapters then lay out the demands that sensors need to meet, the technical obstacles and limitations which need to be considered. The book also covers comparisons to corresponding traditional instruments, as well as covering alternative non-conventional sensors. This book will be of interest to a broad audience of prospective readers ranging from graduate research students, to researchers in physics and engineering fields, to industry professionals active in the field who wish to learn about the technology and/or are interested in the development of new commercial solutions based on polarimetric-type fiber sensing as well as their use for high voltage current and voltage sensing.

Klaus Bohnert has been a Senior Principal Scientist at the ABB Corporate Research Center in Baden, Switzerland. He received a Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Karlsruhe (now KIT), Germany, in 1981. Subsequently, he was a postdoctoral research scientist in the field of optical sciences at the University of Frankfurt and the University of North Texas. In 1986, he joined the Brown Boveri Corporate Research Center (ABB Ltd since 1988) in Baden, Switzerland. There, his focus was on research and development of optical sensors for applications in the electric power industry, oil and gas industry, and chemical process industries. He has been an author or co-author of more than 130 scientific journal articles, about 130 conference presentations, and an inventor on over 90 patents.
