Fibre Bragg Gratings for Temporal Spectral Astronomy

Temporal spectral astronomy or time resolved astronomy is the study of astrophysical phenomena that show spectral variability on very short timescales. These timescales are often too short to be resolved by current astronomical equipment. The lack of detailed observations in this area keeps important theoretical descriptions of astronomical events unclear or incomplete. To resolve this, instrum...

Optical Fibre Bragg Gratings for Acoustic Sensors

In this paper, we give a short review of Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors for the detection of acoustic signals, in particular ultrasound. The primary advantage of FBGs as sensing elements is their spectral encoding of the measurand, which can be either strain or temperature. However, spectral decoding methods cannot be utilized to detect high frequency signals due to their inherent low speed....

Fibre Bragg Gratings for the Monitoring of Wooden Structures

The aim of this work was to develop and validate an experimental methodology suitable for analysing on-site the behaviour of fibre-reinforced wooden structures. The proposed measurement method is based on the application of fibre Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors. An analysis of adhesive behaviour was performed preliminarily, which provided indications for choosing the type of adhesive and for...
