Fiber optic sensors (FOS) detect changes in physical, chemical, or environmental parameters by modulating light within the fiber. Variations in strain, temperature, pressure, or vibration alter the light's properties, which are then measured and converted into digital signals for analysis . Sensors can be point-based, such as Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG) and interferometers (Fabry–Perot, Mach–Zehnder), which provide localized measurements, or distributed, where the entire fiber acts as a sensing medium using Rayleigh, Brillouin, or Raman scattering .
Information processing involves several key steps:
Fiber optic sensing information processing is applied across multiple domains:
Fiber optic sensing offers high sensitivity, immunity to electromagnetic interference, long-distance monitoring, and multiplexing capabilities, allowing multiple sensors along a single fiber. Distributed sensing enables continuous spatial coverage, while AI-enhanced processing ensures accurate, real-time interpretation of complex signals .
Emerging trends include forward-based sensing, which leverages existing communication networks for sensing without additional hardware, and integration with IoT and smart infrastructure, enabling predictive maintenance and autonomous monitoring . Research continues to focus on multi-parameter sensing, cross-sensitivity reduction, and AI-driven adaptive processing to expand the capabilities of fiber optic sensing systems.
