• Optical fiber sensors are innovative devices that utilize the unique properties
of optical fibers
• Optical sensors typically use single-mode optical fibers for their sensing
applications.
Optical source:
• There are many different light sources were used in the industry of the OFS
Optical detectors :
• Optical detector is a device that senses and measures light then converting it
into an electrical signal.
• Optical fiber sensors operate based on the principle of using optical fibers
to transmit and detect light.
• General classification for this category has two types, intrinsic and
extrinsic OFS.
• In the extrinsic OFS, the sensing element is a separated part from the
optical fiber.
• In an intrinsic OFS, the sensing element is a part of the optical fiber itself.
• According to the operation principle, optical fiber sensors are classified into 4
types.
• Optical fiber surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors are a type of optical
sensor used to detect changes in the refractive index of the surrounding
medium.
• These sensors are based on the SPR phenomenon.
• The working principle of SPR relies on the interaction of incident light with
the metal-dielectric interface.
• Collective oscillations of electrons on the metal surface.
• This transfer of energy results in the reflected or transmitted light intensity.
• Change in refractive index leads to change the angle at which SPR occurs
also changes.
• This change in the SPR angle is directly related to the refractive index change
and can be detected.
• Then the change where detected and measured by the system.
• Lighter in weight.
• Less energy-consuming.
• Longer life span.
• High sensitivity.
• High immunity to electromagnetic.
• Ability to work in harsh environments and at elevated temperatures.
• The signals from these sensors are transmitted over long distances
• Fragility
• Installation
• Costs
• Complexity of Repairs
• Medical Sensing
• Environmental Monitoring
• Chemical Sensing
• Versatility
• Cost Reduction
