Reihe: NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry

The book is the output of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Optical Chemical Sensors and is 40 Course of the International School of Quantum Electronics and covers all the aspects related to optical chemical sensing by means of optical waveguides, from the fundamentals to the most recent applications. The book also provides a view through the history of the development of these sensors, from the first laboratory prototypes up to the first commercial instrumentations, and contains also the lecture given by the Nobel Prize Charles Townes on the birth of maser and laser, which is to be considered a very important illustration on how new science and new technology develop. Thanks to the high level of the contributors, among the most renowned specialists in their respective fields, and to its high interdisciplinary content, the book is an essential tool not only for any scientist who is working or intend to start to work in the field of optical chemical sensing but also for anyone who wish to have a complete overview of the state of the art in the field.
