Abstract

The last years have been marked by the spread of optical fibers use for remote sensing and actuating. Optical fiber sensors can be applied to sense a wide range of physical perturbations. Sensing and control systems based on the fiber optic conversion of physical or chemical input variables into modulated light signals have been developed in various laboratories and industries.
