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").

We designed a flexible fiber optic pressure sensor for contact force detection based on the principle of backward Rayleigh scattering using a single-mode optical fiber as the sensing element and polymer PDMS as the encapsulation material. Fiber-optic sensing (FOS) technology has emerged as a cutting-edge research focus in the sensor field due to its miniaturized structure, high sensitivity, and remarkable electromagnetic interference immunity. Compared with conventional sensing technologies, FOS demonstrates superior capabilities in.

This work is focused on a review of three types of distributed optical fiber sensors which are based on Rayleigh, Brillouin, and Raman scattering, and use various demodulation schemes, including optical time-domain reflectometry, optical frequency-domain reflectometry, and related. Distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) has emerged as a critical technology for structural health monitoring of large-scale infrastructure, offering unique advantages in terms of coverage and environmental adaptability.

The core function of an optical fiber pressure sensor is to convert external mechanical pressure into measurable changes in the optical signals transmitted through the fiber. This process relies on the fiber's unique waveguide structure and the interaction between light and matter. Figure 1 depicts a simplified structure of a non-interferometric fiber optic pressure sensor.
