Different topics are addressed, including inter- ferometric, intensity and Bragg grating based fiber optic sensors, signal processing and multiplexing techniques, optical current sensors, together with some references to field trials and applications. Possible guidelines for present and future national R&D activity on this subject are outlined.engFiber optic sensorInterferometric sensorsFiber Bragg gratingsOptical current sensorsOptical sensor multiplexingIntensity optical sensorsjournal article10.1080/01468030590922722
