The core principle of fiber-optic sensors is to send light from the transmitter into the fiber. As light propagates through the fiber, it encounters the target object, leading to changes in intensity, phase, or polarization. Jose Miguel Lopez-Higuera: Handbook of Optical Fiber Sensing Technology, John Wiley & Sons, 2002. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of. Fiber-optic sensing (FOS) technology has emerged as a cutting-edge research focus in the sensor field due to its miniaturized structure, high sensitivity, and remarkable electromagnetic interference immunity. This article explores the different types of Fiber Optic Sensors, their working principles, and various applications.
