Extrinsic (hybrid) fiber optic sensors

Fiber optic sensors are often loosely grouped into two basic classes referred to as extrinsic, or hybrid, fiber optic sensors and intrinsic, or all-fiber, sensors. The below image illustrates the case of an extrinsic, or hybrid, fiber optic sensor.


Extrinsic fiber optic sensors consist of optical fibers that lead up to and out of a ‘‘black box’’ that modulates the light beam passing through it in response to an environmental effect.
