Optical Fiber Sensors for Bio-Medical Applications

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Given their EM immunity, intrinsic safety, small size & weight, autoclave compatibility and capability to perform multi-point and multi-parameter sensing remotely, optical fibers and fiberoptic-based sensors are seeing increased acceptance and new uses for a variety of bio-medical applications—from laser delivery systems, to disposable body temperature sensors, to intra-aortic catheter probes. This talk will describe the needs for bio-medical sensing and illustrate—through several real-life application examples—the benefits brought by optical fibers and fiberoptic sensors and their ongoing development. Key technical and industry trends will be identified along with relevant commercial opportunities and challenges.
