Fiber optic current sensors work by detecting changes in light as it interacts with a magnetic field created by an electrical current. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time. 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"). Learn all about the principles, structures, and features of eight sensor types according to their detection principles. Optical fiber sensing can be broadly classified into two types: point type, and distributed type.
