Fiber Optic Sensor Applications in Buildings

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.
