Compared with traditional electrical ultrasonic transducers, fiber-optic ultrasonic sensors have several merits, such as broadband response, high sensitivity, disturbance resistance, and good reusability, which are helpful to improve the reliability and efficiency of ultrasonic. Compared with traditional electrical ultrasonic transducers, fiber-optic ultrasonic sensors have several merits, such as broadband response, high sensitivity, disturbance resistance, and good reusability, which are helpful to improve the reliability and efficiency of ultrasonic. Optical fiber-based sensors offer several advantages, such as their low weight, small size, ability to be embedded, and immunity to electro-magnetic interference. Therefore, they have long been regarded as an ideal sensing solution for SHM. In this review, the different optical fiber technologies. Fibre-optic ultrasound sensors are an attractive alternative to conventional electronic counterparts in biomedical applications due to their small lateral size (Colchester et al., 2019), high sensitivity (Guggenheim et al., 2017), broad bandwidth (Zhang and Beard, 2015), and immunity to. Following are the drawbacks of using Fiber Optic Sensors: High Cost: They are very expensive. Complex Detection Systems: Detection systems can be complex. Requires Training: Users may be unfamiliar with the technology, requiring basic training before use.
