Abstract
This chapter will present a review of polymer optical fiber-based sensors and techniques. The main characteristics of optical fibers will be briefly summarized, with special focus on POFs. Since POF end face termination plays an important role in the coupling efficiency, the recent technologies used to prepare the POF end face will be described. Finally, the most recent advances in sensing technologies employing POFs will be reviewed.
