Fiber optic sensors are devices that use optical fibers to detect changes in various physical quantities by monitoring alterations in light properties such as intensity, phase, polarization,
Optical fibers can be used as sensors to measure strain, temperature, pressure and other quantities by modifying a fiber so that the quantity to be measured modulates the intensity, phase, polarization, wavelength or transit time of light in the fiber. Sensors that vary the intensity of light are the simplest, since only a simple source and detector are required. A particularly useful feature of intrinsic fiber-optic sensors is that they can, if required, provide distributed sensing over very large distances.
Optical fiber sensors offer attractive characteristics that make them very suitable and, in some cases, the only viable sensing solution. Some of the key attributes of fiber sensors are summarized below.
