As opposed to conventional electrochemical sensors, nanomaterials-based sensors are active and effective in their action with even a minute concentration of analyte. A number of research studies are bringing about an evolution in their development and advancement because of their unique and effective properties. Nanoscale electrochemical sensors have applications in almost every field of life including the detection of neurochemicals, heavy metals, energy components, body fluids, biological matrices, cancer relevant biomolecules, aromatic hydrocarbons, also in playing their role in food science because of their capability in providing quality control and safety. There is a need to develop these nanomaterials-based electrochemical sensors to be more widely available for accurate sensing of minute concentrations especially in the case of heavy metal detection, biofluids, and other biomaterials. This book outlines the major preparation, fabrication and manufacture of nanomaterials-based electrochemical sensors, as well as detailing their principle medical, environmental and industrial applications in an effort to meet this need.This book is a valuable reference source for materials scientists, engineers, electrochemists, environmental engineers and biomedical engineers who want to understand how nanomaterials-based electrochemical sensors are made, and how they are used.

Optical Communications from a Fourier Perspective: Fourier Theory and Optical Fiber Devices and Systems covers Fourier theory and signal analysis over photonic components, including time lenses in optical communication. Sections cover wave propagation in optical waveguides based on Maxwell equations and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Optical Fourier transform in the form of time lens is covered, for example in modulation format conversion and spectrum magnification, and couplers and their use for optical discrete Fourier transformation are also discussed. Other important subjects are discussed such as shot noise, thermal noise and also the basics of four wave mixing in relation to time lenses. Detailed derivations and a deeper background for the chapters are provided in appendices where appropriate. Some of the theory is more generally applicable beyond optical communication and is of relevance also for communications engineering. The Fourier theory dimension of the book presents the relationship between Fourier series and Fourier integrals and also the related Laplace transform.
