Over the last three decades, fiber optic sensors (FOS) have gained a lot of attention for their wide range monitoring applications across many industries, including aerospace, defense, security, civil engineering, and energy. FOS technologies hold great promise to form backbone next‐generation intelligent sensing platforms that offer long‐distance, high‐accuracy, distributed measurement capabilities multiparametric with resilience harsh environmental conditions. The major limitations posed...
