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 samp...
