This document discusses the application of optical fibre. It begins by introducing optical fibre technology and its valuable characteristics such as being used to sense physical and chemical properties. The main applications of optical fibre discussed are communication systems, medicine, sensors, military, and electronics. For communication systems, optical fibre is used by telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, internet communication, and cable television signals. In medicine, optical fibre provides a compact, flexible conduit for light or data delivery in various medical applications such as light therapy, endoscopy, and surgical microscopy. Optical fibre is also widely used in sensors for sensing acoustic, magnetic, and other fields. The military uses optical fibre for air, sea, ground, and space applications.

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.

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
