A Fiber Sensor is a type of Photoelectric Sensor that enables detection of objects in narrow locations by transmitting light from a Fiber Amplifier Unit with a Fiber Unit. Features. basic components of an optical fiber sensor are an optical source, a transducer, and a receiver, as is observed in the schema of Figure 3. Lasers, diodes, and/or LEDs are often used as the optical source in these sensing devices.
In a fiber-optic sensing system, the emitter and the receiver share a single housing. The fiber-optic cable that is connected to the amplifier allows the sensor to reach areas inaccessible to standard photoelectric sensors. The sensor emits, receives, and converts the light energy into an electrical signal. basic components of an optical fiber sensor are an optical source, a transducer, and a receiver, as is observed in the schema of Figure 3. Lasers, diodes, and/or LEDs are often used as the optical source in these sensing devices.
Fiber-optic interferometers are based on the interference which occurs between two light beams propagating through different optical path lengths (OPLs) in the same optical fiber or in two different fibers. The interferometric fiber consists of a light beam splitter and a light beam combiner in any configuration.
