What's a Fibre Optic Sensor and how does it work?

A fibre optic sensor is a type of proximity sensor which uses an optical fibre made of glass or plastic, and which is connected to a light source. The fibre transmits light between both ends, producing a signal. It can monitor and measure the external environment for changes in temperature, pressure, displacement, or strain.

This type of sensor is widely used across a variety of sectors such as oil and gas, environmental monitoring, aerospace, medical, telecommunications, and industrial process control.

What are the advantages of using Fibre Optic Sensors?

You'll find that these handy devices offer excellent resistance to electromagnetic interference and can even be used in harsh conditions such as high temperature applications. Fibre optic sensors are also highly accurate and provide a means of remote sensing for hard-to-reach places. They also ensure improved safety as you can detect changes in environmental conditions quickly, allowing you time to take preventative measures against hazards.
