摘 要：The association of nanocoatings with optical fiber enables advantages of optical fiber (small size, high sensitivity, large bandwidth, immunity to electromagnetic interference, light weight, and ease of implementation of multiplexed and distributed sensors) to be combined with the interesting properties of novel structures ordered at the nanoscale level. In this chapter, we have reviewed some of the most recent applications in optical fiber sensors based on nanostructured coatings covering a wide range of interrogation schemes and fabrication techniques. Thus, in order to achieve an optimal sensor response, a precise selection of the specific coating materials, the appropriate fabrication technique, and the adequate fiberoptic interrogation scheme is required.
