Abstract
Polymer optical fiber has significant advantages, including flexibility, durability, lightweight, biocompatibility, and electromagnetic interference immunity. It can not only be used as a single sensor probe but also be integrated into fabric as smart textiles. This chapter presents a review on structures, types, materials, and physical properties of POF; current technologies applied in POF sensors; applications of POF sensor; and POF in textiles. Finally, the current issues in this area are discussed.
