Fiber-optic sensors - An overview

Characteristics and Applications of Tapered Fiber Optical Sensors for 1310 nm Wavelength

“…The immunity of an optical sensor to another electromagnetic/mechanic apparatus has led to several advantageous applications. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] The detected wavelength relative to a material's absorption/transmittance spectrum to find the material's component was widely discussed; for example the utilization of detected wavelength for fluorescence probe detection. [23][24][25][26][27] Black body radiation is widely chosen, or visible light section is selected.…”

Simulation and Formulation of Output Performance of 1310-nm-Wavelength Tapered Fiber Optical Sensor

“…[14][15][16][17] They have widely been used to detect wavelength relative to the material's absorption/transmittance spectrum of the material in order to find the component of the material, which was utilized for fluorescence probe detection. 18,19) In our previous study, 20) we drew the output performance diagram according to experimental data. Utilizing a reflective mode for a typical experimental solution would avoid the use of additional interrogating cavities, wavelength and phase shift detection techniques, which generally lead to costly implementation and involve complex processing schemes.…”

CO2laser ablation of bent optical fibers for sensing applications

“…Fiber optic sensors (FOS) are very attractive for biosensing [1], for monitoring gas temperature [2], for measuring a force or a pressure [3] and for toxic gas sensing [4]. Many fundamental principles such as wavelength division multiplexing [2] (WDM), surface plasmon resonance [5][6][7][8] (SPR), blackbody radiation [9,10] and exponentially decaying evanescent field [11,12] have been proposed or used in FOS for accurate probing of an external medium.…”
