I bought a book!
Arthur & I were postgrads together in what was then the Optical Fibre Group at Southampton University. Many years later our paths crossed again, this time working together in fibre-optic sensing. Now Arthur has written a book about the technology, a good high-level introduction, if you are interested, with lots of applications information & many references.
