  • Introduction to Fiber Optic Sensor Panel

    Introduction to Fiber Optic Sensor Panel

    The core principle of fiber-optic sensors is to send light from the transmitter into the fiber. As light propagates through the fiber, it encounters the target object, leading to changes in intensity, phase, or polarization. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time. Heating the material enables the trapped states to interact with phonons and decay into lower-energy.
