A fiber optic sensor is a measurement device that uses light traveling through a glass or plastic filament to determine a physical quantity such as temperature, pressure, or strain. Think of it like a photoresistor, which changes its resistance based. A fiber-optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ("extrinsic sensors"). Fibers have many uses in remote sensing. Depending on the. Effective for detecting transparent objects. The beam passes through the (transparent) target twice, so light attenuation increases.
