Fiber Optic Sensor Technology

Fiber optic sensor technology uses thin strands of glass or plastic fibers to detect physical changes like temperature, pressure, or strain. Light signals travel through these fibers, and when external conditions alter the fiber’s properties, they affect the light's behavior—such as its intensity, phase, or polarization. These changes are then interpreted by sensors to provide accurate, real-time data. Fiber optic sensors are valued for their high sensitivity, immune to electromagnetic interference, and capability to operate over long distances, making them ideal for monitoring structures, equipment, and environments in various industrial and scientific applications.
