Abstract
An optical sensor may be defined formally as a device in which an optical signal is changed in some reproducible way by an external stimulus, such as temperature or strain. This definition covers a very wide range of devices, because an optical beam is characterized by a number of independent variables such as intensity, wavelength spectrum, phase and state of polarization. In an optical sensor, any one or a combination of these may be modulated by the measurand (parameter which is to be measured).
