1. Fiber optic sensors and sensor networks (CFO and RCFO)
1.1 Current technical trends
CFOs now offer the same functions as traditional technologies: measurement, control, detection-alarm, monitoring, while offering the advantages and specific features associated with fibers: small footprint and reduced mass, high bandwidth and low attenuation, immunity to electromagnetic interference, good resistance to the effects of ionizing radiation (for certain fibers), possibility of multiplexing sensors and offsetting the acquisition-demultiplexing system...
Today, all this gives this type of instrumentation decisive advantages over other measurement technologies, such as low intrusivity, a passive aspect, the possibility of use in severe or even extreme environments... and, of course, excellent metrological performance in...

Statistical and economic data
In the 90s, the players involved in manufacturing technologies and in understanding the physical phenomena underlying photo-inscription were either academics and research centers, large telecoms manufacturers, or small SMEs who had sensed an emerging need. These small private players enabled a large number of users to purchase and test this innovative technology. Then, as is often the case, some SMEs were...
