Abstract

The main goal of this work is to provide a brief overview of the fiber optic sensor multiplexing configurations and techniques as well as some recent advances and trends of the most important fiber optic sensor configurations. Distributed and point sensors are explained and a number of high performance networks are shown. Finally, the concept of robust fiber optic sensor is presented as well as the main records of distributed and remote sensing fiber optics topologies.
