Abstract
Recently, optical sensors have been improved extensively due to the rising need of sensing applications in different specialties such as, medicine, military, environment, food quality control. The improvement of the photonic technologies based on the CMOS compatible silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and photonic crystal structures improves the sensing performance significantly. This chapter presents the basic principles of the sensing process. Additionally, it introduces the different configurations of optical sensors based on working principle, sensor design, and detection purpose.
