High refractive index silicate fibres for cure monitoring of epoxy matrix composites

Fibre evanescent wave spectroscopy (FEWS) cure monitoring has previously been demonstrated with reinforcing fibres using low refractive index epoxy systems. To enable sensing of a range of aerospace grade epoxy systems, chalcogenide fibres with high refractive index (RI) and a large infra-red (IR) t...
