Abstract

[Since the Nobel Prize award in 2009, received by Prof. Charles K. Kao, for his research and pioneering achievements regarding the transmission of light in an optical fiber, optical fiber has been regarded as one of the top inventions of the last decades revolutionizing not only telecommunications systems, but also new fields of applications such as sensing and metrology. This chapter provides an introduction to the topic of optical fiber sensing. It starts with defining optical fibers in general, giving guide to how to use them in the field of communications, then moving towards the field of optical fiber sensing. The concept of sensing using optical fibers is introduced. The different types of optical fiber sensing are discussed. In principal, different modulation/demodulation principles can be used for sensing multiple external physical parameter. According to those different principles, several techniques emerged for the production of OFSs. The chapter presents a guide for introducing the different modulation types; hence the categorization of optical fiber sensing.]
