Bulgarian fiber optic temperature sensor technology
Energy independent temperature sensor with fiber optic interface for application in agriculture. Fiber optic temperature sensors are immune to the many environmental effects that compromise other measurement technologies, can be embedded and installed in locations traditional temperature sensors cannot and deliver an unprecedented level of spatial detail and data without sacrificing precision. These features of optical fibers make them a useful tool for various sensing applications including in medicine, automotives, biotechnology, food quality control, aerospace, physical and chemical monitoring. This paper reviews the sensing principle, structural design, and temperature measurement performance of fiber-optic high-temperature sensors, as well as recent significant progress in the transition of sensing solutions from glass to crystal fiber. Our applications include monitoring in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance imaging (NMR) and Radio Frequency (RF) energy environments.

Fiber optic signal transmission to sensor
Fiber-optic sensors use the physical properties of light when transmitting it via fiber-optic cable with glass or plastic fibers to detect objects. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time. In 2023, researchers turned submarine cables into earthquake warning systems and gave electric vehicles "optical nerves" to prevent battery failures. Fiber-optic sensors detect objects and conditions by directing light to a test object and evaluating the intensity change of the returning light.

Fiber Optic Sensor Design and Fabrication Methods
This Special Issue focuses on the innovative design of optical fiber sensor structures, including fiber Bragg gratings, long-period gratings, interferometric sensors, and advanced micro-structured fibers. Optical fiber sensors are devices that use optical fibers to detect and measure various parameters such as temperature, pressure, strain, and refractive index. The apparatus includes a heating source (110) and a robotic articulate arm (130) that may modify the geometry of an optical fiber (150). Nowadays fiber optic refractive index sensors are widely used in various fields such as chemical, biochemical, and in an industry field. The optical fibre can be used as a distributed sensor by exploiting light scattering effects or as a quasi-distributed sensor network by functionalizing the fibre through Bragg gratings photo-inscription for instance.
