Plastic Fiber Optic Sensor

Fiber optic sensors are a modern innovation in the field of sensing and monitoring. They are built on principles in which changes in properties of light are compared with the change in physical parameters, in contrast to conventional sensors, which use electrical signals for sensing. Fiber optics sensors have immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI); they are non-conductive, non-corrosive, and have high resistance to most of the chemicals. They can be used in harsh environments where conventional sensors fail, like high-voltage zones, explosive atmospheres, and areas with high electromagnetic fields.
