The research team also acknoriledge the financial and other support received from the University of Connecticut, in particular the Departnent of Civil and Environmenøl Engineering, Sihool of Engineering, Photonics Research Center, and the Institute of Materials Science. Several individuals assisted in the project. Their contributions are duty acknowledged. First of all, Dr. Ma¡cos Kleinerman, CEO of the industial affiliate Metrilight, lncorporated provided invaluable technical consulting and advice on the patented special dual-core optical fiber used in this project. Ðr. Eric Donkor, Associate Professor of Electical and Computer Enginãering of the University of Connecticut assisted by giving useful comments and advice time to time on general optical fiber ãoncepts and instn¡mentation. Sincere thanks are due to Mr. Amlan Sen, Ms. Puneit Dua and Mr. iuy-g Lin who worked on this project during their graduate work and carried out most of the experimental investigations. Last but not least useful comments from the Project Advisory panel members is gratefully acknowledged.
