Optical fibers can be used as sensors to measure strain, temperature, pressure and other quantities by modifying a fiber so that the quantity to be measured modulates the intensity, phase, polarization, wavelength or transit time of light in the fiber. Sensors that vary the intensity of light are the simplest, since only a simple source and detector are required. A particularly useful feature of intrinsic fiber-optic sensors is that they can, if required, provide distributed sensing over very large distances.
Fiber-optic sensors use the physical properties of light when transmitting it via fiber-optic cable with glass or plastic fibers to detect objects. They consist of a fiber-optic amplifier and fiber-optic cables

Fiber optic sensors: what they can detect Fiber optic sensors are suitable for a wide variety of measures, depending on their type, the optical parameter that is used and the adopted initerrogation technique.
Fiber optic sensing measures changes in the naturally occurring “backscattering” of light occurring in an optical fiber (or designed in methods of controlled reflection such as Fiber Bragg Gratings).
At the core of optical sensing technology is the standard optical fiber – a thin strand of glass that transmits light within its core. An optical fiber is composed of three main components: the core, the

An optical fiber sensing system is basically composed of a light source, optical fiber; a sensing element or transducer and a detector (see Fig. 2.2).
A fiber-optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals
