How far can a fiber optic sensor shoot in meters

Home / How far can a fiber optic sensor shoot in meters

The sensing range of a fiber optic sensor varies depending on the specific sensor and its configuration, but it can reach up to 2000 mm in transmitted light operation and up to 1200 mm in one-way operation. 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"). This is why two modules with the same form factor can have dramatically different ranges—some limited. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time.

What is a Fiber Optic Sensor?

A fiber optic sensor operates with an optical fiber cable connected to a dedicated light source. These sensors offer great mounting flexibility and can be used is in a
