Examples of Fiber-Optic Sampling

The chapter thus far has addressed fiber-optic sampling techniques and hardware, illustrated with a few applications. As noted earlier, there has been a wide range of fiber-optic Raman applications presented in the literature, and new reports continue to appear at an accelerating rate. Table 12.4 lists some examples of applications to illustrate the wide variety and breadth of fiberoptic samples. The list is by no means comprehensive, but it should provide the reader with a starting point to explore applications in particular areas.
