Abstract:
The most eloquent feature to emphasize the importance of optical fiber sensors (OFS) systems is the current market but the research continue to discover new aspect in the application area.
The use of OFS may be atributted to the folowing reasons: a wide range of optical fibers; the small dimensions, immunity to electromagnetic interference, possibility to monitor a wide range of parametres; the options of remote data telemetry; multiplexing
OFS are increasingly being used for biomedical purposes: noninvasive , minimally invasive, and invasive sensors. The proliferation of these applications results from combined features. These are small, flexible, nontoxic, chemically and electromagnetically inert, and biocompartibil. Subsequently, these sensors are used for blood monitoring and oximetry, stroke analisys, as well as in angiological, ophtalmological, dematological and dentistry diseases. Also, one of the latest applications is in vivo monitoring and chemical analysis of atherosclerosis. Other applications consist in gastric CO2 detection, radiation dosimery in radiotherapy, blood-pressure monitoring, and Raman spectroscopy (as a powerful laboratory tool for the analysis of tissues). Pressure measurement is important in a range of industries, especially the process industries where an unexpected variation in pressure is often an indication that the process is straying from previously established optimum conditions. All these features and perspectives to applications are reviewed and presented our analysis on this exciting field.
