A fiber-optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ("extrinsic sensors"). Intrinsic sensorsOptical fibers can be used as sensors to measure, , and other quantities by modifying a fiber so that the quantity to be measured modulates the,,, or transit time.

Fiber optic current sensors work by detecting changes in light as it interacts with a magnetic field created by an electrical current. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time. As a sensing technology based on the principles of optical fiber, fiber optic sensors have gradually become key equipment in many industries due to their advantages, such as high precision, strong anti-interference, and long transmission distances. Due to its small size, low cost and ease of fabrication leading it to replace traditional sensors which were used frequently before th birth of fiber optic sensors. In remote sensing, fibers play a key role but based on the requirement, fibers may be used.

Using conventional sensors at local measuring points, such as strain gauges, only known cracks can be observed, since their location is unknown before the onset of cracking. The possibility to measure strains continuously using distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOS) offers enormous potential for structural health monitoring. ABSTRACT: Truly distributed fiber-optic strain measurements provide the possibility to detect and quantify cracks in prestressed concrete structures without previous knowledge of the location where cracks are likely to appear.

Fiber optic sensors (FOSs) have emerged as a critical technology for real-time, high-precision sensing across diverse fields, including structural health monitoring, biomedical diagnostics, environmental surveillance, and industrial automation. This collection focuses on the latest developments in advanced fiber optic sensors and their diverse sensing applications. A fiber optic sensor measures a physical quantity by modulating the intensity, spectrum, phase, or polarization of light traveling through the optical fiber system. This paper conducts a systematic analysis of the sensing mechanisms in fiber-optic pressure sensors, with a particular focus on the performance optimization effects of fiber structures and materials, while elucidating their application characteristics in different sensing scenarios.
