Abstract

This paper presents the development of a Bragg grating interrogation technique for measurements of strain, stress, temperature, and ultrasonic waves. The sensor design and instrumentation technique offer a number of advantages including sensor compactness, lightweight, low-cost, and multiplexing capability for damage detection and corrosion monitoring of advanced structures and components. Using a robust lock-in laser-based demodulation technique, simultaneous measurements of strain, temperature, and damage induced acoustic fields can be performed with high precision, high resolution, and high sensitivity. The interrogated sensor device containing an array of optical Bragg grating fibers and waveguides can be surface mounted on monitoring structures for non-destructive testing applications including highresolution strain measurement and high sensitivity damage and corrosion monitoring.
