How to determine the quality of a fiber optic sensor
These sensors use light signals to detect physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, strain, and vibration. The performance of fiber optic sensors can be evaluated based on several key factors including sensitivity, accuracy, resolution, linearity, hysteresis . As the components like fiber, connectors, splices, LED or laser sources, detectors and receivers are being developed, testing confirms their performance specifications and helps. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time.
