2. INTRODUCTION
• Fibre optic technology is one of the fastest growing
technology.
• Optical fibre draw more interests of researchers and engineers
for its valuable characteristics.
• It is mainly used to sense the physical and chemical properties
such as strains, vibrations, accelerations, linear and rotary
position.
• It is also used to sense temperatures, pressures, determination
of pH, refractive index of liquid solution, pipeline condition
monitoring etc.

3. Applications of Fiber Optics
• Fiber Optic Technology has grown tremendously over the
years and today can be found in many surprising places.
• Main Applications of Fiber Optics are:
Communication Systems
Medicine
Sensors
Military
Electronics

4. Applications of Fiber Optics in
Communication Systems.
• Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting
information from one place to another by sending pulses of
light through an optical fiber.
• Optical fiber is used by many telecommunications companies
to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, and
cable television signals.

6. Applications of Fiber Optics in
Medicine
• Fiber optics have been used in the medical industry for years.
The physical characteristics of fiber make it a natural choice
for many different applications.
• Fiber optics provide a very compact, flexible conduit for light
or data delivery in equipment, surgical, and instrumentation
applications.

7. Contd…..
• Traditional medical fiber optic applications include:
• Light therapy
• Lab and clinical diagnostics
• Endoscopy
• Surgical microscopy
• Dental hand pieces

8. Applications in Sensors
• A fiber optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as
the sensing element or as a means of relaying signals from a
remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals .
• They are widely used in sensors for sensing and measuring of
acoustic fields, magnetic fields, current, acceleration, strain
etc.,

10. Applications in Military
• Fiber optic products are used in a variety of military
applications.
• The Military uses fiber optic technology for a wide variety of
air, sea, ground, and space applications.
• Military fiber optic applications are highly specialized.

12. Applications in Electronics
• Fiber optic products for the electronics market cover a wide
range of applications.
• Typically used in professional audio/video, alarm/security, and
OEM component connections.
