Fiber optic current sensors work by detecting changes in light as it interacts with a magnetic field created by an electrical current. This is a very interesting and also well-known topic in the research field. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of. Fiber optic sensors utilize the propagation characteristics of light within optical fibers to detect environmental changes. The basic working principle is that when the light signal passes through the optical fiber, parameters such as light intensity, wavelength, and phase will be affected by the. A fiber-optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber 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").
