Fiber Bragg gratings in microstructured optical fibers for stress monitoring Universiteit Gent
Combining the functionalities of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) and microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) offers promising technological perspectives in the field of optical fiber sensors. Indeed, MOFs could overcome some of the limitations of FBGs in conventional fibers for sensor applications. The added value of MOFs stems from the ability to design an optical fiber in which an FBG acts as a sensor with a selective sensitivity, e.g. a sensor that ...
