We review the recent developments in optical fiber-based gas sensors utilizing light-induced acoustic/elastic techniques based on photoacoustic spectroscopy, Brillouin scattering, and light-induced thermoelastic spectroscopy (LITES). Optical fibre gas sensors are capable of remote sensing, working in various environments, and have the potential to outperform conventional metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors. Researchers are studying a number of configurations and mechanisms to detect specific gases and ways to enhance. Gas sensing detects gas properties, such as physical, molecular, optical, thermodynamic, and dynamic properties. Fiber optic sensors' inherent benefits of lightweight, compact size, and low attenuation were actively leveraged to overcome. Particularly, Lossy Mode Resonance (LMR)-based optical fiber sensors employ the traditional metal oxides used for gas sensing purposes for the generation of the resonances.

High-speed fiber optic sensor applications
Fiber optic sensors are prevalent in various applications, from computers and printers to motion detectors. For instance, when a printer or copier door is open, light falls on the sensor, stopping the machine for safety. 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. Fiber optic sensing relies on light rays within optical fibers to detect changes in temperature, strain, and other environmental parameters. Utilizing the fiber as a sensor enables continuous measurement along its full length, sensing every centimeter of the fiber — this is referred to as. High speed type fiber optic sensors are at the forefront of this revolution, offering unparalleled speed, accuracy, and efficiency.
