“…Typically, OFS will be deployed to measure temperature when immunity to electromagnetic interference or electrical insulation are required [44,46], such as during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or radio frequency (RF) treatment [46][47][48]. OFS temperature sensors exploit a range of transduction principles, such as temperature dependent fluorescence lifetime [49][50][51][52], Rayleigh scattering (change in the amplitude of the back-reflected signal with temperature) [53] and thermal expansion and the thermo-optic effect in FBGs [54][55][56], LPGs and FPIs [57,58]. Table 2 summarizes key parameters of optical fibre temperature sensors [2].…”

Optical fibre sensors (OFS), as a result of their unique properties such as small size, no interference with electromagnetic radiation, high sensitivity and the ability to design multiplexed or distributed sensing systems, have found applications ranging from structural health monitoring to biomedical and point of care instrumentation. While the former represents the main commercial application for OFS, there is body of literature concerning the deployment of this versatile sensing platform in healthcare. This paper reviews the different types of OFS and their most recent applications in healthcare. It aims to help clinicians to better understand OFS technology and also provides an overview of the challenges involved in the deployment of developed technology in healthcare. Examples of the application of OFS in healthcare are discussed with particular emphasis on recently (2015–2017) published works to avoid replicating recent review papers. The majority of the work on the development of biomedical OFS stops at the laboratory stage and, with a few exceptions, is not explored in healthcare settings. OFSs have yet to fulfil their great potential in healthcare and methods of increasing the adoption of medical devices based on optical fibres are discussed. It is important to consider these factors early in the device development process for successful translation of the developed sensors to healthcare practice.

“…Because of the many applications, fibre-optic thermometers have been widely proposed, either using all-fibre mechanisms (Brenci et al, 1986) and transducers undergoing intensity (Domanski et al, 1990) or wavelength modulation (Ovren et al, 1984;Kist et al, 1984). The use of conventional temperature sensors (thermocouple or thermistors) can both perturb the incident electromagnetic field and can also lead to localized heating spots or sensing errors.…”

“…Another temperature sensor consists of a reflective fibre Fabry-Perot resonator (Kist et al, 1984) made of a short piece of single-mode fibre with the terminal end-faces polished and dielectrically coated. This sensor, which has been envisaged for continuous temperature monitoring in hyperthermia systems, covers the temperature range 25-45°C and has a resolution better than 0.1°C.…”

“…The possibility of simultaneous monitoring with arrays of multiple sensors is also desirable. For these applications, the restricted working range 35-45 • C is sufficient, with a sensitivity of at least 0.1 • C. Because of the many applications, fibre-optic thermometers have been widely proposed, either using all-fibre mechanisms [10], and transducers undergoing intensity [11] or wavelength modulation [12,13], or operating in the time domain [14].…”

Optical techniques developed for sensing purposes proved to be essential in many application fields, ranging from aerospace, industry, process control, to security, and also medicine. The capabilities of these sensors are generally enhanced when a bulk-optical configuration is replaced by optical fibre technology. In the past few years, research programmes and also the market for fibre sensors have assumed a relevant role. This is undoubtedly due to the growing interest in optoelectronics, but also to the very satisfactory performance and reliability that optical fibre sensors are now able to provide. This paper focuses on the advantages that optical fibre sensors offer to the biomedical field, recalls the basic working principles of sensing, and discusses some examples.
