R&D on optical fiber sensors at the National Engineering Laboratary for Optic Fiber Sensing Technologies: fundamental and industrical aspects

In this article, we review R&D on optical fiber sensors at the National Engineering Laboratory for Optic Fiber Sensing Technologies at Wuhan University of Technology, both from industrial and fundamental aspects. New concepts of optical sensors combined micro-machining of novel fiber structure with sensitive thin film are also proposed and discussed.
