The intrinsic properties of the optical fibers, whether made of glass (silica) or plastic (PMMA), make them naturally sensitive over their entire length. Thus, it is very easy to design detection sensors continuously distributed or localized. Exploiting these principles enables the creation of detection systems for many applications, with a very advantageous cost vs. quality rapport.
