Photonic skins for optical sensing: highlights of the PHOSFOS Project [PDF]

SPIE Proceedings, 2009
PHOSFOS (Photonic Skins For Optical Sensing) is a research project funded by the European Commission's 7th Framework Programme. The project aims at developing a flexible and stretchable foil that integrates highly advanced optical fibre sensing elements as well as optical and electrical powering functionalities and read-out of the sensors.

Embedded flexible optical shear sensor [PDF]

, 2010
Monitoring shear stresses is increasingly important in the medical sector, where the sensors need to be unobtrusive, compact and flexible. A very thin and flexible sensor foil is presented based on the shear stress dependent coupling change of optical ...

Applications of polymer optical fibre grating sensors to condition monitoring of textiles [PDF]

, 2009
Fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) in polymer optical fibres (POFs) have been used to measure the strain in a woven textile. FBGs in both POFs and silica optical fibres were attached to a woven textile specimen, and their performance characterised.

Highly sensitive bend sensor based on Bragg grating in eccentric core polymer fiber [PDF]

, 2010
We report on an optical bend sensor based on a Bragg grating inscribed in an eccentric core polymer optical fiber. The device exhibits the strong fiber orientation dependence, the wide bend curvature range of ± 22.7 m-1 and high bend sensitivity of 63 pm/

Measurements of polarimetric sensitivity to hydrostatic pressure, strain and temperature in birefringent dual-core microstructured polymer fiber [PDF]

, 2010
We experimentally characterized a birefringent microstructured polymer fiber of specific construction, which allows for single mode propagation in two cores separated by a pair of large holes. The fiber exhibits high birefringence in each of the cores as

Low-cost fully integrated fiber Bragg grating interrogation system [PDF]

, 2012
Fiber Bragg gratings can be used for monitoring different parameters in a wide variety of materials and constructions. The interrogation of fiber Bragg gratings traditionally consists of an expensive and spacious peak tracking or spectrum analyzing unit ...
