Written by one of the field’s leading experts, this landmark reference presents a thorough system analysis of the fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG), describing the concepts that have emerged as the preferred solutions for obtaining a practical device. This book’s first edition was published in the early 1990’s. If the basic design rules of the FOG have remained unchanged, the technology has certainly matured, and the expectations presented in the first edition have been largely exceeded. This second edition is updated throughout, featuring new content on Allan variance; testing with optical coherence domain polarimetry; the Shupe effect; and rare-Earth doped fiber ASE sources. In addition, brand new comprehensive appendixes cover the optics, single-mode fiber optics, and integrated optics necessary to understand the fiber gyro and provide an appropriate vocabulary for communicating with electronic component designers.

This is the first book in our country describing the utilization of fiber optics technology in aviation. As of today, almost all new generation aircraft are installed with some fiber optics systems and/or fiber optics sensors. This book gives all the latest advances taking place in aviation as far as fiber optics technology is concerned. Especially with This book titled “Fiber Optics & Aviation: Integration” (SECOND EDITION), the concept of maintenance of all aircraft in India will have to be upgraded and changed as discussed in the book, and also this book gives comprehensive coverage of the topics covered in the book. As of today, no IIT, university/engineering college of aviation branch (Aeronautical Engineering) syllabus has this latest technology included in their subject, hence this is the right time to include this subject as a compulsory subject for students so that they are fully aware of this new technology incorporated in all new-generation aircraft. The same recommendation is also given by the Institution of Engineers (India) in their IEI Epitome April 2022 on Page Number 3 for the first edition of the book. practitioners and Students may use this book “Fiber Optics & Aviation: Integration” (SECOND EDITION) as a postscript to my earlier written book “Fiber Optics Fundamentals and Advances in Optical Communications” for better and intended understanding.

Since the technology has moved strongly into a number of different areas a textbook of this sort could be used by a wide variety of academic departments including physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, aerospace engineering and bioengineering. To make the second edition as widely appealing as possible a series of significant upgrades were made. 1. The book is structured to support a variety of academic programs and it can also be used as a general reference by practicing engineers and scientists. 2. The introductory chapter has been revised to outline the new content of the second edition and provide a overview of the current status of fiber optic sensor technology. 3. A new, extensive chapter has been added covering fiber optic grating sensor technology and its application to aerospace, civil structures, oil and gas and power generating applications. 4. A second new chapter has been added on the emerging field of biomedical fiber optic sensors. This is one of the most rapidly growing fields of use for fiber optic sensors and with rising health costs and medical advances promises to be an important area for many years to come.

"Realizing the potential of the fiber optic gyro, like the ring laser gyro, has been a long and expensive process. Many researchers have made important enabling contributions, and many more engineers have worked diligently for many years on solving the problems associated with realizing viable inertial navigation and guidance produce at affordable costs. This book arose from efforts to form a special session to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the first hardware demonstration of the fiber gyro in 1976 by Vali and Shorthill. The chapters contain contributions from key engineers and scientists who have worked from as early as 1977 to the present on manufacturing high-performance fiber gyros for many applications"--
