What is the role of photoelectric and optical fibers in sensors
Photoelectric sensors typically convert light to electrical signals using semiconductor devices, while fiber optic sensors use the transmission properties of optical fibers to carry signals for measurement, giving higher sensitivity and wider measurement range. Fiber optic sensors are devices that transform the state of an object being measured into a detectable optical signal. Its working principle is based on the photoelectric effect.

What are some fiber optic functional sensors
It is well-known the propagation of light in optical fiber is confined in the core of the fiber based on the total internal reflection (TIR) principle and near-zero propagation loss within the cladding, which is very important for the optical communication but limits its sensing applications due to the non-interaction of light with surroundings. Therefore, it is essential to exploit novel fiber-optic structures to disturb the light propagation, thereby enabling the interaction of the light with surroundings and constructing fiber-opti.
