Fiber optic sensors are suitable for
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. Fiber-optic sensors are also immune to electromagnetic interference, and do not conduct electricity so they can be used in places where there is high voltage electricity or flammable material such as jet fuel. The optical fiber consists of the core and the cladding, which have different refractive indexes. This is the power of fiber optic sensing, a technology that transforms ordinary optical fibers into the digital world's sensory network.
