Abstract
The general principles governing the operation of reflectometric fiber-optic sensors are considered. A classification is presented of all the known methods of controlling the characteristics of fiber-optic sensors. In addition, a new control method, involving the design of a specially designed optical inhomogeneity on the surface of the measurement object, is described.
