More specifically, we emphasize recent advances in: (1) Distributed and quasi-distributed fiber optic sensing technology for structural health monitoring through fusion with traditional acoustic non-destructive evaluation methods; (2) Combination with commercial wireless sensing . In 2023, researchers turned submarine cables into earthquake warning systems and gave electric vehicles "optical nerves" to prevent battery failures. Fiber optic sensors have become increasingly significant due to their unique advantages, such as high sensitivity, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and ability to operate in harsh environments. The rapid advancements in materials, fabrication techniques, and signal processing algorithms.
