Recently, such spatial channels and modes have been applied in optical sensing applications where the returned echo is analyzed for the collection of essential environmental information. The key advantages of implementing SDM techniques in optical measurement systems include the multi-parameter discriminative capability and accuracy improvement. In this paper, to help readers without a telecommunication background better understand how the SDM-based sensing systems can be incorporated, the crucial components of SDM techniques, such as laser beam shaping, mode generation and conversion, multimode or multicore elements using special fibers and multiplexers are introduced, along with the recent developments in SDM amplifiers, opto-electronic sources and detection units of sensing systems. The examples of SDM-based sensing systems not only include Brillouin optical time-domain reflectometry or Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDR\/BOTDA) using few-mode fibers (FMF) and the multicore fiber (MCF) based integrated fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors, but also involve the widely used components with their whole information used in the full multimode constructions, such as the whispering gallery modes for fiber profiling and chemical species measurements, the screw\/twisted modes for examining water quality, as well as the optical beam shaping to improve cantilever deflection measurements. Besides, the various applications of SDM sensors, the cost efficiency issue, as well as how these complex mode multiplexing techniques might improve the standard fiber-optic sensor approaches using single-mode fibers (SMF) and photonic crystal fibers (PCF) have also been summarized. Finally, we conclude with a prospective outlook for the opportunities and challenges of SDM technologies in optical sensing industry.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s16091387","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,30]],"date-time":"2016-08-30T09:56:03Z","timestamp":1472550963000},"page":"1387","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Advanced Spatial-Division Multiplexed Measurement Systems Propositions\u2014From Telecommunication to Sensing Applications: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yi","family":"Weng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"NEC Laboratories America, Inc., Princeton, NJ 08540, USA"},{"name":"Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, LA 70504, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ezra","family":"Ip","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NEC Laboratories America, Inc., Princeton, NJ 08540, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhongqi","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, LA 70504, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ting","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NEC Laboratories America, Inc., Princeton, NJ 08540, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"345","DOI":"10.1038\/nphoton.2014.58","article-title":"Making spatial multiplexing a reality","volume":"8","author":"Winzer","year":"2014","journal-title":"Nat.
