There are many advantages of fiber optic sensors above conventional electronic sensors that make them a better candidate for monitoring environmental changes.
Some of these features, which make fiber optic sensors more viable than electronic sensors, are:
Their easy integration into a wide array of structures and composite materials, with very little interference owing to their small size and cylindrical shape
Non-conductance of electric current
Immunity from radio frequency interference and electromagnetic interference
Light weight
High resistance to harsh environments
High sensitivity
Capability to sense a variety of attributes such as corrosion, strain, pressure, acoustic signals, and temperature
Technological Progress Leading to High Use of Fiber Optic Sensors
Over the years of continued use, a lot of research has gone into fiber optic sensing technology and the field has become increasingly sophisticated with every passing day. From their early use in the telecommunication industry and LAN operations, fiber optic sensors are currently widely used in the oil and gas industry, the field of wind energy generation, smart buildings, a variety of sensitive construction sites, and homeland security operations, among others.
