The performance of fiber optic sensors can be evaluated based on several key factors including sensitivity, accuracy, resolution, linearity, hysteresis, repeatability, and stability. Sensitivity: This refers to the ability of the sensor to detect changes in the measured. Fiber optic sensors have become increasingly important in various industries due to their high precision, reliability, and ability to operate in harsh environments. These sensors utilize the transmission of light through optical fibers to detect and measure various physical, chemical, or environmental changes such as temperature, pressure. The results and considerations in this paper indicated the importance of those data quality analyses for the appropriate use of the long-term data in structural condition assessment throughout the life of existing civil infrastructures. Fiber-optic sensors can be designed to withstand high temperatures as well. Optical. ng-term stable and reliable monitoring systems for large structures require the separate consideration of the relevant system components.
