BACKGROUND
Optical fiber can be utilised as optical detectors to perform various sensor operations, e.g., using optical fiber sensing for structural health monitoring in aerospace, automotive, civil engineering structure tracking, undersea oil exploration,biomechanics, and biomedical areas. Optical fiber detectors can be combined to reach one or more benefits, including, e.g. small size, light weight, ease of implementation, high precision, biocompatibility, chemical inertness, multiplexingcapability, and resistance to electromagnetic interference.
