Basic fiber optic sensing modalities:
- Optical fiber sensors can be used to measure:
- Physical parameters: strain, temperature, pressure, etc.
- Chemical/biological spectral signatures
- Nuclear radiation
- Selective target analyte capture
- Types:
- Interferometric: Mach-Zhender, Fabry-Perot, Michelson, Sagnac, etc.
- Gratings: Bragg and Long-period
- Evanescent field: fluorescence, refractive index
- Spectral: absorption, fluorescence, etc.
