Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time. Typically, such sensors rely on optically resonant structures, such as Fabry–Perot cavities, that. Jose Miguel Lopez-Higuera: Handbook of Optical Fiber Sensing Technology, John Wiley & Sons, 2002. Figure 2: Types of Fiber Optic Sensors Fiber Optic Sensors can be categorized based on their construction and operating principles: 1. This chapter reviews the technology for fiber optic ultrasonic sensors and describes the physical principle which forms the basis of optical fiber acoustic sensors with emphasis on the discussion of the high-frequency response. The velocity of a sound wave. The small size, high sensitivity, and immunity to electromagnetic interference of fibre-optic ultrasound sensors make them highly attractive for applications in biomedical imaging and metrology.
