Seven
years have passed since the publication of the previous edition of this book. During
that time, sensor technologies have made a remarkable leap forward. The sensitivity
of the sensors became higher, the dimensions became smaller, the selectivity became
better, and the prices became lower. What have not changed are the fundamental
principles of the sensor design.
This
book is about devices commonly called sensors. The invention of a
microprocessor has brought highly sophisticated instruments into our everyday
lives. Numerous computerized appliances, of which microprocessors are integral
parts, wash clothes and prepare coffee, play music, guard homes, and control
room temperature. Microprocessors are digital devices that manipulate binary
codes generally
represented by electric signals. Yet, we live in an analog world where these
devices function among objects that are mostly not digital. Moreover, this
world is generally not electrical (apart from the atomic level). Digital
systems, however complex and intelligent they might be, must receive
information from the outside world.
This
volume covers many modern sensors and detectors. It is clear that one book cannot
embrace the whole variety of sensors and their applications, even if it is
called something like The Encyclopedia of Sensors. This is a different
book, and the author’s task was much less ambitious. Here, an attempt has been
made to generate a reference text that could be used by students, researchers
interested in modern instrumentation (applied physicists and engineers), sensor
designers, application engineers
and technicians whose job is to understand, select, and/or design sensors for
practical systems.
