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.

The fiber optic grating sensor structure is very simple and can achieve a small size. It is also characterized by high reliability, high accuracy, strong waterproof performance, and high sensitivity. It can be used to sense and measure physical quantities such as stress, strain or temperature with high sensitivity and measurement range. Fiber Bragg grating has embraced the area of fiber optics since the early days of its discovery, and most fiber optic sensor systems today make use of fiber Bragg grating technology. Following the early work on the formation of photogenerated gratings in germanosilicate optical fiber by sustained exposure of the core to the interfer ence pattern produced by oppositely propagating modes of argon-ion laser radiation that was first reported in 1978 (HilI et al.
