Fiberoptic sensors - 1
Extrinsic fiberoptic sensors
• Quarts
• Core diameter 1-10 mm
• Cladding diameter 80-250mm
• Difference in index of
refraction: ca. 4%
– sensing takes place in a
region outside the fiber
• Encoder plates/disks
• Reflection/Transmission
• Gratings
• Fluorescence
Intrinsic fiberoptic sensors
– sensing takes place within
the fiber itself
• Microbend
• Distributed sensors
(Rayleigh,Raman,Mode
coupling etc.)
• Blackbody sensors
• Interferometric

Advantages intrinsic sensors
 Immune to electromagnetic interference
 Can be used in harsh environment (water, oil, etc.)
 Passive
 Small size and weight
 High Sensitivity and large dynamic range
 Multiplexing possibilities
 The accuracy are dependent of the readout technique
 Can operate in high temperatures

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
Structural health monitoring is a
question of verification of
constructional design (both
short and long term)
 Verification of design
 Active operated guiding system
– Minimizing load to prolong
lifetime of object
– Operate close to capacity
when necessary (military)
 Damage detection
 Condition based maintenance
 Acoustic signature for Naval
ships

Vibration based damage detection
Damage
 Changes to the material and/or
geometric properties of a
structural or mechanical system,
including changes to the
boundary conditions and system
connectivity, that adversely affect
current or future performance of
that system.
Vibration response of structures are
influenced by global properties,
and is therefore a possible feature
for damage detection
Common excitation techniques
– Random
– Chaotic
– Frequency sweep
– Transient excitation
Accelerometer not ideal in SHM
Other sensor types are
investigated,e.g. Strain
