Fiber-Optic Fabry-Perot Sensors: An Introduction

Yun-Jiang Rao is dean of the School of Communication & Information Engineering, and director of the Key Lab of Optical Fiber Sensing & Communications at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. Prior to joining there, he was a research fellow/senior research fellow at the University of Kent at Canterbury, UK. He is a fellow of the International Society of Optical Engineering and has been working on fiber-optic Fabry-Perot sensors since he joined the groups of two outstanding pioneers of fiber-optic sensors, Prof. Brian Culshaw and Prof. David Jackson, in the early 1990s. He has authored or co-authored more than 300 peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals and international conference proceedings, which gained >2000 citations in Web of Science (H-index of 28) and >6000 citations in Google Scholar (H-index of 38). He serves as an associate editor of IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology, and Optics and Laser Technology, and is also the editor-in-chief of Photonic Sensors.
