Fiber Optic Sensors: Fundamentals, Principles & Applications
Optical Fiber (Transmission Medium, Sensing Element) Light modulated due to interaction with parameter of interest (Measurand)
Contact UsHome / How to connect sensors and optical fibers
Optical fiber couplers for various LEDs and light sensors are commercially available, but you can skip the connector and simply connect silica and plastic fibers directly to LEDs and sensors. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time. The fiber optic sensor has an optical fiber connected to a light source to allow for detection in tight spaces or where a small profile is beneficial.
