Fiber optic sensors are instrumental in SHM due to their ability to provide real-time data on structural parameters such as strain, temperature, and vibration. Their high sensitivity and immunity to electromagnetic interference make them ideal for use in diverse environments. Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) began to be used as strain sensors in the early 1990s, and approximately a decade later, fiber distributed sensing techniques based on Rayleigh or Brillouin backscattering became available.
