A fiber optic sensor works on the principle of light from a superluminescent source or a laser transmitted through an optical fiber then it experiences changes within its parameters either in the fiber Bragg gratings or optical fiber & reaches a detector that measures these. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time. 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. As a sensing technology based on the principles of optical fiber, fiber optic sensors have gradually become key equipment in many industries due to their advantages, such as high precision, strong anti-interference, and long transmission distances.
