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").

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 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.

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.
