    Comparative Analysis of Fiber Optic Sensing Technologies

    This paper presents a comparative analysis and system-level optimization of the main sensitivity enhancement methods, including mechanical amplification, functional coatings and composite embedding, interferometric schemes, and advanced spectral signal processing. Fiber-optic strain sensors, especially Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) and interferometric systems, are widely used in structural health monitoring (SHM); however, their standard sensitivity is often insufficient for early detection of nano-strain level damage. This method offers advantages such as immunity to electromagnetic interference, the ability to function in hazardous environments, and the capacity for distributed.
