A fiber optic sensor measures a physical quantity by modulating the intensity, spectrum, phase, or polarization of light traveling through the optical fiber system. It's a device that converts light rays into electronic signals. 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 ("extrinsic sensors"). The optical fiber consists of the core and the cladding, which have different refractive indexes. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time.
