This paper presents the characteristics and advantages of polymer optical fiber (POF) sensors compared with common silica optical fiber (SOF) sensors. The development and application of POF sensors for strain measurement are introduced in detail. Because of the recent developments in POF technology, the future of POF sensors is considered optimistic.
