Optical Sensing and Measurement

This conference provided a forum for the interchange of technology between experts in electro-optic methods and applications-oriented engineers involved in process control, asssembly operations, testing and quality assurance. Electro-optic methods can be used to rapidly, accurately, and non-intrusively measure many important physical and chemical properties. As industrial competitiveness increasingly revolves around product quality and production efficiency, electro-optic sensing methods are playing a crucial role in areas ranging from automobile and aircraft assembly to chemical refining and advanced materials processing. Many promising applications remain to be exploited. This volume contains invited, tutorial, and contributed papers completely encompassing the field of optical sensing and measurement. The broad scope of technologies include two new topical areas: measurement at high temperatures and velocity measurement of solid surfaces.
