Advanced Sensor systems are essential tools for the deployment of Internet of Things applications, whereby the accumulation of information and its processing allows for the improvement of the quality of life in many different ways. Smart environments adapting to changing conditions (such as self-driving vehicles), enhanced national and personal security, clean air and secure water or food supply are but a few examples of applications relying on accurate and timely sensor data. While such sensor systems currently exist, they rely for the most part on relatively old technologies based on many different kinds of electrical devices and various kinds of image sensors. This variety limits their capabilities and performance as well as their integration into "intelligent" systems where data from many different sources must be processed. ***The program of research proposed here consists of leveraging relatively new technologies based on lasers and optical fibers to develop a “universal” optical fiber-based sensing system that can be easily adapted to measuring a wide array of parameters with performance levels dictated by the trade-off between cost and both user requirements and competing technologies, without fundamental changes in the device configurations and instrumentation. This system will be flexible enough to find applications in environmental monitoring, biomedical devices, structural health monitoring, food safety, and manufacturing process monitoring. **

先进的传感器系统是部署物联网应用的重要工具，信息的积累及其处理可以以多种不同的方式改善生活质量，以适应​​不断变化的条件（例如自动驾驶车辆）。 ）、增强的国家和个人安全、清洁的空气和安全的水或食品供应只是依赖于准确和及时的传感器数据的应用的几个例子。虽然目前存在这样的传感器系统，但它们大部分依赖于基于相对较旧的技术。许多不同种类的电气设备和各种图像传感器。多样性限制了它们的能力和性能以及它们与必须处理来自许多不同来源的数据的“智能”系统的集成***这里提出的研究计划包括利用基于激光和光纤的相对较新的技术来开发一种新的技术。基于光纤的“通用”传感系统，可以轻松适应测量各种参数，其性能水平取决于成本、用户需求和竞争技术之间的权衡，而无需对设备配置和仪器进行根本性改变。该系统将足够灵活，可以找到应用程序环境监测、生物医学设备、结构健康监测、食品安全和制造过程监测。
