Optical Fiber Specklegram Sensors for Mechanical Measurements: A Review

This paper presents a review of FSS technology. The operation principle and main characteristics of specklegram are presented and the applications of FSSs are thoroughly discussed. In addition, advances in microelectronics, machine learning, material processing for new optical fibers and their relation with FSS are also discussed. These new developments on correlated areas can give rise for a new generation of sensors with advantageous features such as lower cost, easy connectivity, higher degree of customization and better performance. <fig orientation="portrait" position="float"> <graphic orientation="portrait" position="float" xlink:href="lealj5-2944906.eps"/> </fig>
