Sensor; capteur

A device designed to perform a specific measurement. There are many different types of sensor, depending on the technology used and the magnitude they address. Every sensor contains a "transducer" which transforms the desired quantity into a parameter that can be observed/measured by the instrument.

Capteur à Fibres Optiques CFO; Optical Fiber Sensor OFS

Sensor, in which the optical fiber most often plays the role of transducer, exploiting an effect that causes the quantity to be detected to interact with one of the parameters of light. By semantic shift, the term CFO is often used to designate the entire measurement system (source + sensor(s) + analysis/demultiplexing).

Events

Optical Fiber Sensor OFS: The OFS international conference, which has become the benchmark in the CFO and RCFO field, takes place every 18 months, cyclically in Europe, America and Asia. Readers can consult the proceedings of past conferences since OFS1 in 1983. The 2020 editions of OFS, JNQG ... were postponed for a year due to the COVID 19 pandemic in 1983:
