Fiber Optic Sensors

Fiber optic sensors use thin strands of glass or plastic to detect changes in light, which can indicate various physical conditions like temperature, pressure, or strain. When something affects the light traveling through the fiber, such as bending or stretching, it alters the light’s properties. These changes are measured and converted into data. Fiber optic sensors are highly sensitive, can cover long distances, and are immune to electromagnetic interference, making them ideal for use in industries like telecommunications, structural health monitoring, and environmental sensing. Their compact nature allows for versatile applications in various environments.
