Description: The increasing use of fiber optics in the field of medicine has created a need for an interdisciplinary perspective of the technology and methods for physicians as well as engineers and biophysicists. This book presents a comprehensive examination of lasers and optical fibers in an hierarchical, three-tier system. Each chapter is divided into three basic sections: the < B> Fundamentals< /B> section provides an overview of basic concepts and background; the < B> Principles< /B> sectio offers an in-depth engineering approach; and the < B> Advances< /B> section features specific information on systems and biophysical parameters. All those interested in the fields of lasers and fiber optics will find this book fascinating and instructive reading.
