ABSTRACT

Condition monitoring of heavy electromechanical equipment is commonly

accomplished in the industry using vibration analysis. Several techniques, mainly based
on capacitive and piezoelectric accelerometers , conventionally used. However, the
negative influence of the electromagnetic interference (E!" can be a real problem
when electrical signals are used to detect and transmit physical parameters in noisy
environments such as electric power generator plants with high levels of E!. #ptical
fiber sensors are increasingly used because of the nonelectrical nature of signals. !n this
paper, the most frequently used vibration optical fiber sensors will be reviewed,
classifying them by the sensing techniques and measurement principles. $he main
techniques, intensity modulation, fiber bragg gratings and %abry&'erot !nterferometry,
will be reviewed here.
