Extrinsic fiber-optic sensors use an, normally a one, to transmit light from either a non-fiber optical sensor, or an electronic sensor connected to an optical transmitter. An example is the measurement of temperature inside by using a fiber to transmit into a radiation located outside the engine.

Extrinsic fiber-optic sensors use an optical fiber cable, normally a multimode one, to transmit modulated light from either a non-fiber optical sensor, or an electronic sensor connected to an optical transmitter. An example is the measurement of temperature inside aircraft jet engines by using a fiber to trans.

The fiber optic grating sensor structure is very simple and can achieve a small size. It is also characterized by high reliability, high accuracy, strong waterproof performance, and high sensitivity. It can be used to sense and measure physical quantities such as stress, strain or temperature with high sensitivity and measurement range. Fiber Bragg grating has embraced the area of fiber optics since the early days of its discovery, and most fiber optic sensor systems today make use of fiber Bragg grating technology. Following the early work on the formation of photogenerated gratings in germanosilicate optical fiber by sustained exposure of the core to the interfer ence pattern produced by oppositely propagating modes of argon-ion laser radiation that was first reported in 1978 (HilI et al.

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"). Intrinsic sensorsOptical 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.
