A fiber-optic sensor is a that uses either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ("extrinsic sensors").

Optical fibers can be used as sensors to measure, , and other quantities by modifying a fiber so that the quantity to be measured modulates the,,, or transit time of light in the fiber. Sensors that vary the intensity of light are the simplest, since only a simple source and detector are required.

High-definition temperature sensing based on the natural Rayleigh backscatter in optical fiber delivers a virtually continuous line of temperature measurements with sub-millimeter spatial resolution.

A fiber optic sensor measures a physical quantity by modulating the intensity, spectrum, phase, or polarization of light traveling through the optical fiber system. The fiber optic sensor has an optical fiber connected to a light source to allow for detection in tight spaces or where a small profile is beneficial. , proximity switches or pressure sensors), it operates not by electrical signals but by. Utilizing the fiber as a sensor enables continuous measurement along its full length, sensing every centimeter of the fiber — this is referred to as.

An optical fiber sensing system is basically composed of a light source, optical fiber; a sensing element or transducer and a detector (see Fig. A fiber-optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ("extrinsic sensors"). 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. Further there are many points why fiber optic sensors are used in place of traditional size and. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time.
