fiber optic sensor

A fiber optic sensor is a device that uses light transmitted through thin strands of glass or plastic fibers to measure various properties, such as temperature, pressure, or vibrations. When these properties change, they affect the light traveling through the fiber, resulting in changes in the light's intensity or wavelength. This information can be analyzed to gather precise measurements. Fiber optic sensors are valued for their sensitivity, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and ability to function in harsh environments, making them ideal for applications in industries like telecommunications, medicine, and environmental monitoring.
