Classification of Fiber Optical Sensors

Abstract

Fiber optics sensor technology offers different parameter measurements such as strain, pressure, temperature, current and many more things. For that different type of sensors are used and these sensors converts these parameters to optical parameters like light intensity or phase or polarization of light. These converted parameters are transmitted using an optical link over a long distance. In this paper, we review optical sensors and their applications. Here, we describe the classification of fiber optic sensors and based on these sensors, some applications of them are discussed.
