光纤传感器（OFS）是以光波为载体，以光纤为介质的新型传感器，拥有高灵敏度、强抗干扰性、耐腐蚀、耐高压等优势，被广泛应用于国防、石化、电力、基础建设、医疗等各个领域。

      目前，世界各国都在大力进行光纤传感技术的研发和应用，其中美国起步最早，技术和规模均处于世界领先地位。 2013年，全球光纤传感器销售额达到18.9亿美元，同比增长19.6%，其中美国为12.2亿元，占到全球总销售额的64.6%，预计到2018年全球光纤传感器销售额将达到43.3亿美元。

      中国于20世纪70年代开始研究、应用光纤传感器，目前已经在高温光纤传感器和光纤光栅传感器方面获得了重大突破，并在石油、钢铁、运输、国防等行业实现了批量应用。2013年，中国光纤传感器市场规模约为9.6亿元，随着国家政策的扶持以及物联网等产业的拉动，预计到2018年其市场规模将接近30亿元。

      中国光纤传感器广阔的市场前景，吸引了众多国内企业的进入，如理工光科、北洋光电、派科森、波汇科技、通鼎光电等。此外，国外一些企业也开始布局中国，如欧姆龙、松下电工、康宁等。2013年11月，康宁公司在中国上海建立了首个研发中心，致力于光纤传感器等产品的中国本地化开发。

      理工光科：中国最大的光纤传感器研发、生产基地，曾承担了中国“光纤传感器国家高技术产业化示范工程”项目，具备年产21万套光纤传感器的能力。

      北洋光电：成立于2013年12月，由北洋集团光纤传感事业部及其子公司杭州欧忆光电合并而成。2014年，公司正在筹建海洋光纤传感器项目，建成后将形成年产1000套全光纤海洋边界检测设备的能力。

      派科森：成立于2012年，正在建设 “光纤传感器产业化建设项目”，达产后将形成年产光纤传感器系列产品2000套的规模。

      波汇科技：2009年自主研发FireLaser型DTS；2011年自主研发OFSS6000分布式光纤智能入侵探测系统；2012年完成MaxView 分布式组态监控平台开发。2012年11月，购得聚光科技（300203）“光纤传感安全监测系统”募投项目。

Optical fiber sensor (OFS) is a new type of sensor with light wave as a carrier and optical fiber as a medium, possessing high sensitivity, interference immunity, anti-corrosion, high-pressure resistance and other merits, thus being widely used in national defense, petrochemical, electric power, infrastructure, medical, etc..

At present, all countries in the world are energetically carrying out the R&D and application of optical fiber sensing technology, among them, the United States due to the earliest start leads the world in technology and scale. In 2013, global optical fiber sensor sales reached USD1.89 billion, up 19.6% year on year, of which, the United States registered USD1.22 billion, making up 64.6% of world’s total, which is expected to reach USD4.33 billion in 2018.

Since the research and application of optical fiber sensor in the 1970s, China has already made significant breakthroughs in high-temperature optical fiber sensor and fiber grating sensor, accompanied by massive application in petroleum, steel, transportation and national defense. In 2013, China’s optical fiber sensor market size approximated RMB960 million; with the support of national policy and boosted by Internet of Things (IoT) and other industries, the figure is estimated to approach RMB3 billion in 2018.

The promising prospect of Chinese optical fiber sensor market has attracted many domestic enterprises such as Wuhan WUTOS Co., Ltd, Beiyang Optic-electronic Information Technology Co., Ltd, Pegasus (Qingdao) Optoelectronics, Inc., Bandweaver Technologies Co., Ltd and Jiangsu Tongding Optic-Electronic Co., Ltd. Moreover, some foreign companies e.g. OMRON, Panasonic, Corning also have started their layout in China. In November 2013, Corning established the first R&D center in Shanghai, committed to the localized development of optical fiber sensor and other products in China.

Wuhan WUTOS Co., Ltd: the largest optical fiber sensor R&D and production base in China, once undertook China’s “Optical Fiber Sensor National High-tech Industrialization Demonstration Project”, capable of annually producing 210,000 units of optical fiber sensors.

Beiyang Optic-electronic Information Technology Co., Ltd: founded in December 2013, a merger of Weihai Beiyang Electric Group Co., Ltd – Optical Fiber Sensing Division and its subsidiary – Hangzhou OE Technology Co., Ltd. In 2014, the company is preparing the construction of Marine Optical Fiber Sensor Project; upon completion, it will form an annual production capacity of 1,000 sets of all-fiber ocean boundary detection equipment

Pegasus (Qingdao) Optoelectronics, Inc.: founded in 2012, currently is busy with the “Optical Fiber Sensor Industrialization Construction Project”; annual production capacity of 2,000 sets of optical fiber sensor series products will be realized after reaching designed capacity.

Bandweaver Technologies Co., Ltd: independent R&D of FireLaser DTS in 2009; independent R&D of OFSS6000 distributed fiber-optic intrusion detection system in 2011; development of MaxView distributed configuration monitoring platform in 2012; purchase of “Fiber Optic Sensing Safety Supervision System” from Focused Photonics(Hangzhou) Inc(FPI). (SZSE: 300203) in November 2012.
