Fiber-Optic Sensors [PDF]

open access: possible, 2017
So far, I have concentrated on how optical fibers are used for communications. However, fiber optics also have other important uses. This chapter will show how fibers are used as sensors. Fiber sensors work in a variety of ways, sometimes just using fibers to deliver light, other times monitoring changes induced in light transmission caused by external

Optical-Fiber Sensors

MRS Bulletin, 2002
AbstractThe primary aim of this issue of MRS Bulletin is to present an overview of the deployment of optical-fiber sensors in a selected range of applications. The topics covered include a general introduction to optical fibers; a review of the sensing mechanisms that are available to monitor strain, temperature, pressure, chemical species, damage, and

Fiber-Optic Sensors

2009
The development of fiber-optic technology was mainly driven by the requirements of the telecommunications industry. Nonetheless one should not overlook that telecommunications is not the only application of fiber optics. The other major application area is in metrology and data acquisition.

Optical fiber acoustic sensor

Applied Optics, 1977
A new class of hydrophones is currently being developed, which utilize optical beams and interface directly to fiber optic transmission and processing links. Some of these sensors employ an optical fiber itself as the transduction element and possess significant advantages and versatility.
