Fiber optic sensor for detecting black and white objects
A through-beam or retro-reflective photoelectric sensor is an obvious choice since the sensor can easily detect when a dark object passes between the emitter and reciever unit, or when the beam of light between the emitter and a reflector is interrupted. A fiber optic sensor and two fiber optics made of plastic or glass fibers make up a fiber optic system. The sensor contains a light source (transmitter), typically an LED, and a photodiode (receiver). They rely on reflection, refraction, and scattering at the material surface; by measuring changes in signal intensity, frequency, and phase, they can identify and detect targets. They can detect very small objects, are particularly flexible to mount and are extremely resistant in harsh environments – even in high temperatures.

What is the optical fiber head of a sensor
The sensor head is external to the optical fiber and is based on miniature components that are used to modulate the properties of light in response to environmental changes associated with physical perturbations of interest. Fibers have many uses in remote sensing. The light beam travels through the core by. Radiation absorption excites an orbital electron to a higher energy level. Heating the material enables the trapped states to interact with phonons and decay into lower-energy. A fiber optic sensor measures a physical quantity by modulating the intensity, spectrum, phase, or polarization of light traveling through the optical fiber system. Think of it like a photoresistor, which changes its resistance based. Intrinsic sensors (upper part of Figure 2) directly use an optical fiber as the sensitive material (sensor head) and also as the medium to transport the optical signal with the information measured.
