Optical fibers can be used as sensors to measure, , and other quantities by modifying a fiber so that the quantity to be measured modulates the,,, or transit time of light in the fiber. Sensors that vary the intensity of light are the simplest, since only a simple source and detector are required.

A fiber-optic sensor is a that uses 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"). It is used around the world to monitor power stations, telecom networks, railways, roads, bridges, international borders, critical infrastructure, terrestrial or subsea power cables or pipelines, and downhole applications in oil, gas and enhanced geothermal electricity. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time. This paper introduces the basic principles of several commonly used optical fiber sensors and the progress of optical fiber sensors in the monitoring of physical, mechanical, and chemical parameters and demonstrates the applications of optical fiber sensors in infrastructure. In this exploration, we will delve into the operational principles, benefits, and. Light is trapped inside the core and travels along the fiber by bouncing off the interfaces with the cladding.

The OFS technology has rapidly become a cornerstone in the evolution of smart campus infrastructure, delivering reliable, high-performance solutions for structural health monitoring, environmental sensing, security, and energy management. Fiber-optic sensing (FOS) technologies offer a powerful alternative, enabling continuous, distributed, and long-term monitoring of structural behavior over meter- to kilometer-scale lengths with high spatial and temporal resolution. Because of the fiber-optic sensor's (FOS) inherent distinctive advantages (such as small size, lightweight, immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and corrosion, and embedding capability), a significant number of innovative sensing systems have been exploited in the civil engineering for. As is known, fiber optic sensors have low operating costs and small dimensions compared.
