本文为“电光技术”发表的月度白皮书的一部分,主要介绍光纤传感器市场的目前情况。指出光纤传感器已从简单的光导管发展到较为复杂的干涉仪式陀螺仪,许多器件已在工业和医学方面获得应用。同时也可看出,除温度和压力传感器之外,大多数其它传感器技术尚不成熟。当前阻碍光纤传感器广泛应用的主要问题是可靠性和精度以及用户的认识问题。 This paper is part of a monthly white paper published by Electro-Optical Technology that focuses on the current state of the optical fiber sensor market. It is pointed out that optical fiber sensors have been developed from simple light guides to more complicated interferometric gyroscopes. Many devices have been applied in industry and medicine. It can also be seen that most other sensor technologies are not yet mature except for temperature and pressure sensors. The main problems currently hindering the widespread use of optical fiber sensors are reliability and accuracy as well as user awareness issues.
