High-definition temperature sensing based on the natural Rayleigh backscatter in optical fiber delivers a virtually continuous line of temperature measurements with sub-millimeter spatial resolution.

Distributed temperature sensing (DTS) measures temperature distribution over the length of an optical fiber cable using the fiber itself as the sensing element.

An optical fiber sensing system is basically composed of a light source, optical fiber; a sensing element or transducer and a detector (see Fig. 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"). Due to its small size, low cost and ease of fabrication leading it to replace traditional sensors which were used frequently before th birth of fiber optic sensors. Further there are many points why fiber optic sensors are used in place of traditional size and. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time.

In this paper we describe a probing method, referred to as Fiber Deflection Probing (FDP), for use on Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM). Examples include the inner surfaces of micro-drilled holes, narrow gaps or complex free-form surfaces. The optical inspection technique offers a fast, contactless and wear-free way of measuring micro-structures and distances. Measurement of diameter and form of small holes is of great importance in applications such as fuel injector nozzles, fiber optic ferrules, wire drawing dies, holes in printed circuit boards and medical apparatus such as syringes, etc.

The performance of the EFPI infrasound sensor in this chapter is compared with the recently reported schemes. The sensitivity value, frequency range, advantages, and disadvantages are listed in Table 1. Along with the continuous development of science and technology, acoustic research has gradually penetrated into other various natural science fields. sensor head, while the FP structure inline is too small, so the external cavity FP structure is selected.
