Applications of optical-fiber sensors include (top left) airplane propeller blades embedded with fiber Bragg grating sensors, and (top center) a system for detecting gastric partial pressure of CO2. (top right) Schematic illustration of a typical silica optical-fiber waveguide: a cylindrical glass core is surrounded by a cladding (shell) of another glass with a lower refractive index. (bottom) On the left is a photograph of self-sensing conventional E-glass fibers acting as a light guide and damage-detection sensor; on the right are the same fibers being used for cure monitoring. (bottom right, overlay) A fiber Bragg grating rosette sensor, used to instrument existing composite structures for which embedded sensors are not possible (courtesy of CEA/Magne). See the technical theme that begins on p. 359.
