Nowadays fibre optic sensors are paramount in a variety of applications in modern society, and for this reason they have attracted the attention of academic as well as industry researchers. Fibre optic sensors can be used to measure physical properties e.g. temperature, stress, etc. (physical sensors), chemical properties e.g. pH (chemical sensors), or biological properties e.g. glucose content (bio-medical sensors). Fibre sensors can also be divided in two types, based on the location of the sensing element: if the fibre is used to deliver light to and from an external sensing element, we refer to it as an extrinsic fibre sensor; whilst if the sensing element is the fibre itself, we refer to it as an intrinsic fibre sensor. In intrinsic fibre sensors, the physical properties of the fibre itself change due to external perturbations, such changes result in variations (e.g. intensity, phase, frequency, or polarization) of the light inside the fibre.
This Collection aims to gather the latest advances in the topic of fibre sensors, looking at the next generation of fibre sensor devices as well as their exploitation in biomedical, engineering, and natural sciences applications.
