Fiber optic displacement sensors are widely used in industry because of their benefits, which include a simple design, low cost, and resistance to RFI and EMI. Extrinsic sensors of the non-contact kind are commonly referred to as retroreflective sensors. Retro reflective extrinsic Fiber optic sensors (FOS) have been studied, statistically modelled, and evaluated for performance because to their inherent benefits. This document describes how to use the software programme 'FOS Explore' to examine, evaluate, and improve the retroreflective extrinsic type FOS. The ray tracing technique and an extended mathematical model of FOS were used to construct this tool. Sensor geometries and performance characteristics may be configured and analysed. Users may enter numerous fibre specs and geometrical parameters into the programme, which was constructed using MATLAB, to establish the sensor's configuration. The simulated findings are displayed in the form of a tabular display, specific plots, and cross sectional views of sensor geometry for ease of interpretation. In addition to basic configuration, this software tool is used to study and optimise alternative designs depending on performance characteristics such as sensitivity and linear operating range at specific non linearity.
