Finally, the future development trends of fiber optic sensors are discussed.
Principle of Fiber Optic Sensor
Fiber optic sensors are used to convert measured information into measurable optical signals, and their basic structure consists of a light source, sensitive components, fiber optic and photodetector, and signal processing system. Fiber optic sensors have information modulation and demodulation functions. The part where the optical parameters in the fiber optic sensor are modulated is called the modulation zone, and the photodetector and signal processing part are called the demodulation zone. When the light emitted by the light source is coupled into the optical fiber and enters the modulation zone through the fiber, its optical properties change (వంటి తీవ్రత, పౌనఃపున్యం, తరంగదైర్ఘ్యం, ఘట్టం, పోలరైజేషన్ స్థితి, కంకి.) due to the influence of the measured light in the modulation zone, becoming the modulated signal light. After being transmitted through optical fibers to the photodetector, the photodetector receives the incoming optical signal and performs photoelectric conversion to output an electrical signal. Finally, the signal processing system processes the electrical signal to obtain the relevant parameters being measured, which is demodulation.
Classification of Fiber Optic Sensors
Classified by the role of optical fibers in sensors
According to the role of fiber optic in sensors, fiber optic sensors can be divided into functional fiber optic sensors, transmission fiber optic sensors, and pickup fiber optic sensors.
① Functional fiber optic sensor.
Functional fiber optic sensors, also known as all fiber optic sensors, consist of a continuous optical fiber that couples the emitting fiber of the light source and the receiving fiber of the light detector. They have two functions: transmission and sensing. The measured parameters are modulated by directly changing certain transmission characteristic parameters of the optical fiber. This type of sensor has a compact structure and high sensitivity, but requires the use of special optical fibers and advanced sensing technologies, such as fiber optic gyroscopes, fiber optic hydrophones, కంకి.
② Optical fiber sensor for transmitting light.
The optical fiber of the transmission type fiber optic sensor only plays the role of transmitting light waves, and its modulation region is outside the optical fiber. The transmitting fiber and the receiving fiber do not have continuity. The principle is that the light is modulated by the measured parameter when it is irradiated on the external modulation device (sensitive element). The advantages of this type of sensor are simple structure, తక్కువ ఖర్చు, and easy implementation, but its sensitivity is lower than that of functional fiber optic sensors. Most of the commercially available fiber optic sensors currently belong to the transmission type fiber optic sensors.
③ Pick up type fiber optic sensor.
The pickup type fiber optic sensor uses optical fibers as probes to receive light radiated by the measured object or light reflected or scattered by it and transmit it to the photodetector. After signal processing, the measured parameter is obtained. Fiber laser Doppler velocimeter is a typical pickup type fiber sensor. The turbidity of the fluid it can measure is at least 5 times higher than that of previous measured fluids, achieving the measurement of local velocity of opaque fluids. అదనంగా, Doppler velocimeters are also used for measuring the speed of trains. Reflective fiber optic temperature sensors are also one of the representatives of pickup type fiber optic sensors.
Classified by light wave modulation method
According to the changes in the physical characteristic parameters of light waves modulated by external signals, fiber optic sensors can be divided into five types: intensity modulation fiber optic sensors, phase modulation fiber optic sensors, frequency modulation fiber optic sensors, wavelength modulation fiber optic sensors, and polarization modulation fiber optic sensors.
① Intensity modulated fiber optic sensor.
Intensity modulation is a relatively simple and widely used modulation method in fiber optic sensing. The basic principle is that the measured parameter modulates the transmitted light in the optical fiber to change the light intensity, and then measures the measured parameter by detecting the change in light intensity (i.e. demodulation). Most intensity modulated fiber optic sensors are based on reflective intensity modulation. This type of sensor has a simple structure, తక్కువ ఖర్చు, and is easy to implement, but it is susceptible to fluctuations in light source intensity. The development and application of intensity modulated fiber optic sensors started earlier, and in recent years, research has been constantly breaking through and innovating.
② Frequency modulated fiber optic sensor.
Optical frequency modulation refers to the modulation of the frequency of the transmitted light in an optical fiber by the measured parameter, and the detection of the measured parameter through frequency offset. ప్రస్తుతం.., frequency modulated fiber optic sensors are mostly used to measure displacement and velocity.
③ Wavelength modulated fiber optic sensor.
The measured signal changes the wavelength of the transmitted light through frequency selection, filtering, and other methods, which is called optical wavelength modulation. Traditional optical wavelength modulation fiber sensors include cascaded fiber interferometer temperature sensors based on the cursor effect. Although the temperature measurement range of this sensor is small, its enormous sensitivity enables it to meet certain special requirements, such as scientific instruments that require precise temperature control. The performance of light sources and spectrum analyzers greatly affects fiber optic wavelength detection technology. The rapid development of fiber Bragg grating sensors in recent years has expanded the application range of functional optical wavelength modulation sensors.
④ Phase modulated fiber optic sensor.
The basic principle of phase modulation fiber optic sensors is that under the action of the measured parameter on the sensitive element, the refractive index or propagation constant of the sensitive element changes, causing a change in the phase of the transmitted light. తర్వాత, an interferometer is used to detect this phase change to obtain the measured parameter. This type of sensor has the advantages of high sensitivity, వేగవంతమైన ప్రతిస్పందన, and large dynamic measurement range, but it requires high precision for the light source and detection system.
⑤ Polarization modulation type fiber optic sensor.
Polarization modulation fiber optic sensors are not affected by light source intensity, have a simple structure, and high sensitivity. The current sensor utilizing Faraday effect is one of its main application areas.
Classify by target distribution
According to the distribution of detection targets, sensors can be divided into point type fiber optic sensors, quasi distributed fiber optic sensors, and distributed fiber optic sensors.
① Point type fiber optic sensor.
Point type fiber optic sensors can only sense physical quantities at a certain point, and only one extremely small sensitive element is connected to the fiber optic sensor, usually a transmission type fiber optic sensor. The advantages and disadvantages of this type of sensor are obvious, with high detection performance, but it cannot perform multi-point distribution detection on the object being tested.
② Quasi distributed fiber optic sensor.
Quasi distributed fiber optic sensors can perform multi-point detection on targets simultaneously, with multiple point type fiber optic sensors connected to the fiber optic cable. Typical application cases of quasi distributed fiber optic sensors include fiber optic hydrophone arrays [24] and fiber optic grating array sensors.
The advantage of quasi distributed fiber optic sensors is the ability to perform simultaneous multi-point sensing, which is an important development trend in fiber optic sensing. అయినా, the number of points that can be simultaneously sensed by current quasi distributed fiber optic sensors is limited.

The entire fiber optic cable of a distributed fiber optic sensor is a sensitive component. The fiber optic cable is both a sensor and a medium for transmitting signals, and is suitable for detecting the strain distribution of structures. ఉదాహరణకి, in large structures applied in civil engineering, important parameters such as displacement, internal or surface stress of the structure can be measured quickly and non destructively. Based on the distribution of optical wave parameters along the fiber optic cable, and by simultaneously obtaining the distribution information of the measured signal that varies with time and space in the sensing fiber region, continuous sensing over a large range, long distance, and long time can be achieved.
ప్రస్తుతం.., the main types of distributed fiber optic sensors include interferometric fiber optic sensors, ఫైబర్ బ్రాగ్ గ్రాటింగ్ సెన్సార్లు, కంకి. In engineering applications, distributed fiber optic sensing technology can continuously and dynamically monitor the force changes of target objects without interruption, with high accuracy and strong anti-interference ability in monitoring results.

In the 1990s, foreign countries conducted research on the application of fiber optic sensors in nuclear power plants. Fiber optic sensors can cover the measurement of various parameters in nuclear power plants. In theory, an all fiber optic sensing system can be constructed to fully leverage the advantages of fiber optic sensors, such as high accuracy, miniaturization, distributed anti electromagnetic interference, and intrinsic safety. భవిష్యత్తులో.., in order to meet the requirements of automation applications, fiber optic wireless sensor network technology is the key to achieving automation. It can achieve real-time monitoring, which is conducive to achieving automated production. Fiber optic wireless sensors will have broad application prospects.
