The system includes a light source, optical fiber, sensing element (or transducer), and a detector. Radiation absorption excites an orbital electron to a higher energy level. Heating the material enables the trapped states to interact with phonons and decay into lower-energy. 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"). Depending on the. A fiber optic sensor measures a physical quantity by modulating the intensity, spectrum, phase, or polarization of light traveling through the optical fiber system. Think of it like a photoresistor, which changes its resistance based. iber optic sensors approaches. It has been designed in suc a way that it sensed o h system as a pressure sensor.
