Abstract

Luna Innovations has developed a prototype 8-channel fiber optic sensor system to demonstrate fiber optic sensor operation in flight environments. As an intial flight demonstration, long period grating (LPG) relative humidity sensors along with extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (EFPI) pressure and temperature sensors were installed in an aging Delta 767-300ER jet. The fiber optic signal-conditioning system is a multi-purpose platform that can also be used to operate other types of fiber optic LPG and EFPI sensors, including strain gages, metal-ion corrosion sensors, and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. The system configuration and operation is described.
