Microstructured Optical Fiber Sensors Embedded in a Laminate Composite for Smart Material Applications
Fiber Bragg gratings written in highly birefringent microstructured optical fiber with a dedicated design are embedded in a composite fiber-reinforced polymer. The Bragg peak wavelength shifts are measured under controlled axial and transversal strain and during thermal cycling of the composite sample. We obtain a sensitivity to transversal strain that exceeds values reported earlier in literat...
متن کاملOptical fiber sensors for spacecraft applications
Optical fiber sensors offer a number of advantages for spacecraft applications. A principal application is strain sensing for structural health monitoring, shape determination, and spacecraft qualification testing. This paper will review the results of recent work at the Naval Research Laboratory where optical fiber strain sensors have been used on spacecraft structures and ground test hardware...
متن کاملSuperlattice Microstructured Optical Fiber
A generic three-stage stack-and-draw method is demonstrated for the fabrication of complex-microstructured optical fibers. We report the fabrication and characterization of a silica superlattice microstructured fiber with more than 800 rhomboidally arranged air-holes. A polarization-maintaining fiber with a birefringence of 8.5 × 10-4 is demonstrated. The birefringent property of the fiber is f...
متن کاملOptical Fiber Sensors for Biomedical Applications
Optical fiber technology offers a convenient, affordable, safe and effective approach for the delivery and collection of light to and from the tissue region of interest, and has been employed clinically since the 1960s [1]. This chapter discusses and reviews the recent developments in optical fiber sensor technology in the field of biomedicine. Before proceeding, we distinguish between the prev...
متن کاملOptical Fiber Embedded in Epoxy Glass Unidirectional Fiber Composite System
We aimed to embed silica optical fibers in composites (epoxy vinyl ester matrix reinforced with E-glass unidirectional fibers in mass fraction of 60%) in order to further monitor the robustness of civil engineering structures (such as bridges). A simple system was implemented using two different silica optical fibers (F1-double coating of 172 µm diameter and F2-single coating of 101.8 µm diamet...
