This report takes a look into the patenting activity around fiber optic sensors uncovering the companies, inventors, intellectual property trends and other key indicators. Fiber optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ("extrinsic sensors").
This report graphically analyzes fiber optic sensor markets from many perspectives, categorizes and highlights the key companies involved, defines unique keywords. This report also covers the global fiber optic sensors marketplace. It focuses particularly on the markets and opportunities for fiber optic sensors in defense, oil and gas exploration and drilling, medical, and industrial markets. The study considers future opportunities for new application markets.
This report was prepared by mining patent data using Patent iNSIGHT Pro, a comprehensive patent analysis platform that helps one accelerate time-to-decision from patent analysis activities. Read More on http://www.patentinsightpro.com/techreports.html

Conceptually, Fibre optic sensors have immense potentail in real world applications. However, they are difficult to realise in general. One typical example is Fibre Optic CT and PT (Current Transformer and Potential Transformer) for dc and ac power transmission line. They are highly effective for these applications, but they are difficult to build and very difficult to install.
