Principle of Fiber Optic Sensing Connection
The fiber optic sensor has an optical fiber connected to a light source to allow for detection in tight spaces or where a small profile is beneficial. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time. Heating the material enables the trapped states to interact with phonons and decay into lower-energy. This article explores the different types of Fiber Optic Sensors, their working principles, and various applications. We'll delve into Intrinsic, Extrinsic, and Hybrid fiber optic sensors, explaining how they function. Fibers have many uses in remote sensing.
