Fiber optic sensing technology does not require electricity
A fiber optic sensor is by definition entirely controlled by light and does not include any electrical components whatsoever. They can detect very small objects, are particularly flexible to mount and are extremely resistant in harsh environments – even in high temperatures. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time. This is the power of fiber optic sensing, a technology that transforms ordinary optical fibers into the digital world's sensory network.
