This paper presents a comprehensive review of AI-enhanced OFS technologies, encompassing both localized sensors such as fiber Bragg gratings (FBG), Fabry–Perot (FP) interferometers, and Mach–Zehnder interferometers (MZI), and distributed sensing systems based on Rayleigh . The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with optical fiber sensing (OFS) is transforming the capabilities of modern sensing systems, enabling smarter, more adaptive, and higher-performance solutions across diverse applications. In 2023, researchers turned submarine cables into earthquake warning systems and gave electric vehicles "optical nerves" to prevent battery failures. Associate Professor Faisal Nadeem Khan from the Institute of Data and Information has recently published a perspective article entitled Non-technological barriers: the last frontier towards AI-powered intelligent optical networks in Nature Communications.

This article explores the different types of Fiber Optic Sensors, their working principles, and various applications. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of. Optical fiber sensors present several advantages in relation to other types of sensors. , small, lightweight, resistant to high temperatures and pressure, electromagnetically passive, among others. This is the power of fiber optic sensing, a technology that transforms ordinary optical fibers into the digital world's sensory network.

A fiber optic sensor works on the principle of light from a superluminescent source or a laser transmitted through an optical fiber then it experiences changes within its parameters either in the fiber Bragg gratings or optical fiber & reaches a detector that measures these. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time. 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. As a sensing technology based on the principles of optical fiber, fiber optic sensors have gradually become key equipment in many industries due to their advantages, such as high precision, strong anti-interference, and long transmission distances.
