Popis: Retro reflective extrinsic Fiber optic sensors (FOS) have been studied, modelled mathematically and analyzed for performance due to its inherent advantages. This paper reports easy pathway to study, analyze and optimize the retroreflective extrinsic type FOS as a software tool ‘FOS Explore’. This tool is developed on the basis of generalized mathematical model of FOS using ray tracing technique. Various geometries of sensor can be configured and analyzed it performance parameters. The software, developed using MATLAB, has facility to input different fiber parameters and geometrical parameters to decide the configuration of the sensor. The simulated results are in the form of tabular display, specific plots and cross sectional views of sensor geometry for easy understanding. In addition to basic configuration, this software tool is used to analyze and optimize different architectures as per the performance parameters viz. Sensitivity and linear operating range at specific non linearity.
