This paper discusses optical sensor developments based upon availability of new components, such as solid state lasers and detectors, fiber optics, and increasingly powerful signal retrieval techniques. These and other recent developments and devices are making possible optical sensors which combine reductions in size with improvements in versatility, life and reliability.
