Transmission Characteristics of Fiber Optic Sensors
Long-Distance Transmission Capability: Fiber optic sensors can transmit signals over long distances with very low signal attenuation. Radiation absorption excites an orbital electron to a higher energy level. Due to its small size, low cost and ease of fabrication leading it to replace traditional sensors which were used frequently before th birth of fiber optic sensors. Further there are many points why fiber optic sensors are used in place of traditional size and. Among the reasons why optical fibers are such an attractive are their low loss, high bandwidth, immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), small size, light weight, safety, relatively low cost, low maintenance, etc. The basic working principle is that when the light signal passes through the optical fiber, parameters such as light intensity, wavelength, and phase will be affected by the. Fiber optic sensors are used in a wide range of fields, including: Structural Health Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of the physical condition of structures.
