Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time. Optical fiber sensors (OFSs) have emerged as essential tools in the monitoring of physical, chemical, and bio-medical parameters in harsh situations due to their high sensitivity, electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity, and long-term stability. However, the current literature contains. This work reviews the ber-optic sensors based on Bragg gratings, long fi period gratings, interferometers, surface plasmon resonance, uorescence, and light fl diffusion. Brief theory of sensing principle, fabrication method, applications, advantages and disadvantages of the different ber-optic. A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a type of distributed Bragg reflector constructed in a short segment of optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light and transmits all others. The usage of. Jose Miguel Lopez-Higuera: Handbook of Optical Fiber Sensing Technology, John Wiley & Sons, 2002.
