Distributed Optical Fiber Sensing Based on Rayleigh Scattering (2013, background): “The idea of using an optical fiber as a sensing element is almost as old as the idea of using the fiber as a transmission medium [1].”
Fiber Optic Sensors for Structural Health Monitoring of Air Platforms (2011, background): “Over several decades, a wide range of fiber optic sensor approaches have been intensively studied [5] and widely implemented [6].”
Lossy Mode Resonance Generation With Indium-Tin-Oxide-Coated Optical Fibers for Sensing Applications (2010, background): “fiber are well known: light weight, capability of m ultiplexing and immunity against electrical discharge [17,18].”
Optical fiber pH sensor based on lossy-mode resonances by means of thin polymeric coatings (2011, background): “Much research has been done in the field of optical fiber senorswithin the last decades [1,2].”
