Abstract
Intensity modulated fiber optic sensors have the many distinct advantages associated with fiber optics that makes them suitable for several industrial and military applications. Although, the accuracy of the sensor is far less that for interferometric sensors, the accuracy is more than sufficient for most process control situations. The concepts for intensity modulated fiber optic sensors include: transmissive, reflective, microbending and intrinsic mechanisms. The paper describes the various concepts and applications.
