Fiber optic current sensors work by detecting changes in light as it interacts with a magnetic field created by an electrical current. This section provides a detailed look at fiber optic sensors. What Is a Sensor? Learn all about the principles, structures, and features of eight sensor types according to their detection principles. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of. Brief theory of sensing principle, fabrication method, applications, advantages and disadvantages of the different fiber‐optic sensors, are addressed. 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.
