Book Description

This invaluable book offers a comprehensive overview of the technologies and applications of optoelectronic sensors. Based on the R&D experience of more than 70 engineers and scientists, highly representative of the Italian academic and industrial community in this area, this book provides a broad and accurate description of the state-of-the-art optoelectronic technologies for sensing. The most innovative approaches, such as the use of photonic crystals, squeezed states of light and microresonators for sensing, are considered. Application areas range from environment to medicine and healthcare, from aeronautics, space, and defence to food and agriculture.Written in a self-contained manner, this volume presents both the sensing methodologies and the fundamentals of the various technologies, as well as their applications in the real world.

Book Description

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important aspect in building design due to its effect on human health and wellbeing. Generally, people spend about 90% of their time indoors where they are exposed to chemicals, particulate matters, biological contaminants and possibly carcinogens. In particular, the air quality at hospitals carries with it risks for serious health consequences for medical staff as well as patients and visitors. This book is a study of atmospheric air pollution and presents ways we can reduce its impacts on human health. It discusses tools for measuring IAQ as well as analyzes IAQ in closed buildings. It is an important documentation of air quality and its impact on human health.

Book Description

The use of infrasound to monitor the atmosphere has, like infrasound itself, gone largely unheard of through the years. But it has many applications, and it is about time that a book is being devoted to this fascinating subject. Our own involvement with infrasound occurred as graduate students of Prof. William Donn, who had established an infrasound array at the Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory (now the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory) of Columbia University. It was a natural outgrowth of another major activity at Lamont, using seismic waves to explore the Earth’s interior. Both the atmosphere and the solid Earth feature velocity (seismic or acoustic) gradients in the vertical which act to refract the respective waves. The refraction in turn allows one to calculate the respective background structure in these mediums, indirectly exploring locations that are hard to observe otherwise. Monitoring these signals also allows one to discover various phenomena, both natural and man-made (some of which have military applications).

Book Description

LIDAR, otherwise known as Light Detection and Ranging, is an optical active remote sensing technique that has vast applications in numerous fields. Most impressively, LIDAR has been established as a capable tool for atmospheric studies due to its ability to probe atmospheric aerosols that are invisible to the naked eye. Although air quality monitoring stations perform admirably as atmospheric aerosol monitoring systems, the potential of LIDAR to surpass these conventional approaches in measuring air pollutant levels is evident due to its superior detection range and rapid range-resolved measurements. This monograph aims to provide an introduction to elastic backscatter LIDAR theory, design and signal processing, as well as present the reader with a review of the latest developments and applications of LIDAR in atmospheric aerosol detection. With this monograph, the authors hope to provide a stepping stone for new LIDAR researchers, students and scientific enthusiasts to begin investigating this ever expanding field of science and engineering, as well as bridge the discontinuity between textbooks and the latest advancements in LIDAR technology and experiments
