Fiber optic sensors can measure various quantities by detecting how light traveling through an optical fiber is modulated. They are classified as either extrinsic or intrinsic sensors depending on whether the light exits the fiber before detection. Extrinsic sensors are easier to multiplex but less sensitive, while intrinsic sensors are more sensitive but more complex. Fiber optic sensors offer advantages over electrical sensors like immunity to electromagnetic interference. They have applications in structural health monitoring, medical equipment, oil/gas pipelines, and electric power systems by measuring quantities like temperature, strain, rotation, and pressure.

SCOPE
OPTICAL SENSOR MEASURANDS
BASICS CONSTRUCTION CLASSIFICATION APPLICATIONS
OPTICAL SENSOR MEASURANDS
ROTATION, ACCELERATION ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE
ACOUSTICS AND VIBRATION
STRAIN, HUMIDITY, AND VISCOSITY
BASICS
WHY OPTICAL SENSORS?
ELECTROMAGNETIC IMMUNITY ELECTRICAL ISOLATION COMPACT AND LIGHT
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION LIGHT BEAM CHANGES BY THE PHENOMENA THAT IS BEING MEASURED LIGHT MAY CHANGE IN ITS FIVE OPTICAL PROPERTIES i.e INTENSITY, PHASE, POLARIZATION,WAVELENGTH AND SPECTRAL DISTRIBUTION
CLASSIFICATION
EXTRINSIC SENSORS LIGHT LEAVES THE FIBER TO BE CHANGED BEFORE IT CONTINUES TO THE DETECTOR LIGHT DOES NOT LEAVE THE FIBER BUT IS CHANGED WHILST IN THE FIBER
INTRINSIC SENSORS
EXTRINSIC
APPLICATIONS- TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE,LIQUID LEVEL AND FLOW
LESS SENSITIVE EASILY MULTIPLEXED INGRESS/ EGRESS CONNECTION PROBLEMS EASIER TO USE LESS EXPENSIVE
INTRINSIC
APPLICATIONS- ROTATION, ACCELERATION, STRAIN, ACOUSTIC PRESSURE AND VIBRATION
MORE SENSITIVE TOUGHER TO MULTIPLEX REDUCES CONNECTION PROBLEMS MORE ELABORATE SIGNAL DEMODULATION MORE EXPENSIVE
APPLICATIONS
APPLICATION TO LARGE COMPOSITE AND CONCRETE STRUCTURES
A much less intrusive size for embedding into composites Greater resistance to corrosion when used in open structures, such as bridges and dams Quality control during construction, health monitoring after building, impact monitoring of large composite or concrete structures
APPLICATION
APPLICATION IN ELECTRIC POWER INDUSTRY
An excessive mechanical load on electrical power transmission lines, which may be caused by heavy snow for example, may lead to a serious accident. The load change is simply converted into strain via a metal plate attached to the line and onto which the sensor is bonded
APPLICATION Knowledge of the local temperature distribution present in high-voltage, high-power equipment Defective or degraded equipment can be detected by continuously monitoring the variations in the winding temperature, which reflects the performance of the cooling system
APPLICATION
APPLICATION IN MEDICINE Sensors are all point sensors that can only provide readings over a small volume in the human body The sensor can also be used for the measurement of the hearts efficiency
By combining temperature readings with pulse rate, doctors can determine how much blood the heart pumps Detection of Cataract by simply monitoring the backscattered light intensity from the lens of the eye
APPLICATION
APPLICATION IN OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
Sensors can be used to measure temperature and pressure in a gas pipeline and monitor health of pipeline
