How to solve interference in fiber optic sensors
Some noise sources can be reduced or eliminated by proper design, shielding, or isolation of the sensor system, while others may require more sophisticated signal processing techniques to filter out or compensate for the noise. These in-fiber interferometers make use of the sensitive phase variations of waves propagating in fibers to produce intensity variations, resulting in better sensitivities compared to many pure intensity-based sensors. This chapter addresses simple optical fiber sensors based on modal interference. We give a general model of F-P interferometric optical fiber sensors including diffraction loss caused by the beam divergence and the Gouy phase shift. They have many advantages over conventional sensors, but they also face some challenges.

Structure Composed of Multiple Fiber Optic Sensors
We present a review of the fundamentals and applications of fiber optic sensors based on multicore coupled structures. Fiber gratings in optical fibers stand out in sensing solutions due, e., to their immunity to external electromagnetic fields, having a high sensitivity for different sensing parameters, being small in size and thereby allowing integration in many technical structures and with a high possible. The method uses a multicore fiber with differently doped fiber cores and, therefore, enables a selective grating inscription. The concept can be applied in a draw tower inscription process for an efficient production of sensing networks.
