Principle of Fiber Optic Matrix Sensors
Fiber optic sensors operate on the principle of using light waves to detect changes in physical conditions like heat levels and mechanical stress throughout numerous sectors. Jose Miguel Lopez-Higuera: Handbook of Optical Fiber Sensing Technology, John Wiley & Sons, 2002. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of. 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.
