These functional fiber optic sensors are characterized by their compact structure, strong compatibility, and high sensitivity, but require special optical fibers and are therefore costly. Brief theory of sensing principle, fabrication method, applications, advantages and disadvantages of the different fiber‐optic. Fiber optic sensors are used in a wide range of fields, including: Structural Health Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of the physical condition of structures. During operation, the light source enters the optical modulation region through the incident fiber. The physical quantity to be measured (such as. Mohamed Elsherif, Ahmed E. Salih, Monserrat Gutiérrez Muñoz, Fahad Alam, Bader AlQattan, Dennyson Savariraj Antonysamy, Mohamed Fawzi Zaki, Ali K. Yetisen, Seongjun Park, Timothy D.
