Some Frequently Asked Questions
What are fiber optic sensors used for?
Uses of Fiber Optic Sensors
Fiber optic sensors are used to measure things and keep an eye on changes in places that might be hard to reach or sensitive.
In medical fields, they can check a patient’s temperature and other vital signs without being intrusive. It’s gentle and safe for the patient.
In industries, they monitor things like temperature, pressure, and vibrations in machines. This helps prevent problems and keeps machines running smoothly.
In bridges and buildings, fiber optic sensors keep track of changes that might show a problem, like if something’s breaking or moving.
So, whether in medical, industrial, or construction uses, fiber optic sensors provide valuable, precise, and safe monitoring in various applications and environments.
How do fiber optic sensors work?
Fiber optic sensors use light to detect changes in their surroundings without needing electrical power where they’re placed.
These sensors have a light source, fiber optic cable, and a receiver. The light source sends light through the fiber optic cable.
When the light travels to the other end, the receiver looks at the light. If something changes the light, like bending the cable, the sensor notices.
Then, the sensor sends a signal, telling other equipment that something has changed, which can then react or record this change.
Simply, fiber optic sensors spot changes by observing alterations in the light, and then sending out a signal to inform about the changes detected.
What is the principle of fiber optic sensors?
Principle of Fiber Optic Sensors
Fiber optic sensors work on a principle known as “modulating light properties.” Let’s talk about that in simple words.
Imagine a flashlight that sends light through a flexible, clear tube. The light travels from one end to the other.
If you bend, press, or heat the tube, the light changes a bit. It might get dimmer or change colors slightly.
The sensor watches the light and notices these changes. If the light changes, it means something is happening to the tube.
So, the basic principle: fiber optic sensors watch for changes in the light, which indicates changes in the environment or object they are monitoring.
What are the two types of Fibre optic sensors?
Two Types of Fiber Optic Sensors
Fiber optic sensors are mainly of two types: intrinsic and extrinsic, each having different ways of working.
Intrinsic fiber optic sensors use the fiber itself to sense things like temperature, pressure, or strain. The fiber experiences changes and notices them.
When something alters the light inside the fiber, such as bending it, the intrinsic sensor recognizes this change as meaningful.
Extrinsic fiber optic sensors use the fiber to deliver light to a sensing region. It carries light to and from that location.
The fiber here is not sensing changes directly; instead, it helps detect alterations in an external medium or space.
To sum up, intrinsic sensors observe changes within the fiber itself, while extrinsic sensors use fibers to sense changes in an external environment.
