Book excerpt: Fiber optics have traditionally been used for communication systems. These fibers are convenient to use because they are not susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Now, fibers are being used in more fields. Sensors are a new application for fiber optics. They can be used to sense temperature, chemicals, and position. What makes optical fibers attractive for sensing is that different wavelengths of light can be used for different sensing applications. The military is now starting to use fiber optic sensors for the guidance and control of munitions. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fiber optic sensors (FOSs) have been widely used for measuring various physical and chemical measurands owing to their unique advantages over traditional sensors such as small size, high resolution, distributed sensing capabilities, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. This dissertation focuses on the development of robust FOSs with ultrahigh sensitivity and their applications in industry and military areas. Firstly, novel fiber-optic extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) inclinometers for one- and two-dimensional tilt measurements with 20 nrad resolution were demonstrated. Compared to in-line fiber optic inclinometers, an extrinsic sensing motif was used in our prototype inclinometer. The variations in tilt angle of the inclinometer was converted into the cavity length changes of the EFPI which can be accurately measured with high resolution. The developed fiber optic inclinometers showed high resolution and great temperature stability in both experiments and practical applications. Secondly, a smart helmet was developed with a single embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor for real-time sensing of blunt-force impact events to helmets. The combination of the transient impact data from FBG and the analyses using machine-learning model provides accurate predictions of the magnitudes, the directions and the types of the impact events. The use of the developed smart helmet system can serve as an early-stage intervention strategy for mitigating and managing traumatic brain injuries within the Golden Hour"--Abstract, page iv.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This Note presents an overview of fiber optics technology and potential military applications of that technology. It outlines the dramatic growth of fiber optics technology to the point where it has virtually replaced other means of long-distance telecommunications. It discusses advantages and disadvantages of fiber optics in general, and then considers them in the light of applications to military systems. The Note considers several categories of developmental and proposed military systems that use some facet of fiber optics technology; however, it makes no attempt to analyze these systems in terms of technical feasibility, cost, or military utility. An appendix contains technical information on the principles of fiber optic information transfer."--Rand abstract.

Book excerpt: FIBER OPTIC SENSORS Discover the latest in fiber optic sensors and their applications in this new edition Fiber-optic sensors are a powerful class of sensor that uses high-bandwidth optical fibers to convey a large amount of measured information through a single fiber. The advantages of such a mode of measurement are clear: they are intrinsically safe in explosive environments (no sparks), lightweight, compact, robust, and potentially inexpensive. As a result, their uses are manifold for a wide range of physical and chemical phenomena including temperature, strain, pressure, acoustic fields, position, velocity, rotation, acceleration, electrical current, liquid level, biochemical composition, and chemical concentration. Fiber Optic Sensors introduces and familiarizes the reader with a broad range of fiber optic sensor techniques and applications. The latest edition of this popular text builds upon the sound introductions to the fundamentals of the topic provided by earlier editions by introducing the latest technologies that have been developed in recent years. Gathering the latest research and publications on the subject in one place, the book provides a comprehensive look at fiber optic sensors with an eye to what’s new in the field. Readers of Fiber Optic Sensors’ third edition will also find: An exploration of the technology within new applications in areas such as aerospace, defense, oil and gas, medical, electric power, manufacturing, environmental, and robotics Updated chapters on the emergency of interferometric sensors, distributed sensing, and critical components A new and fully-updated comprehensive index Fiber Optic Sensors is a useful reference for engineers, scientists, technical managers, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the latest development in optical fiber devices, and their applications to sensor technology. Optical fiber sensors, an important application of the optical fiber, have experienced fast development, and attracted wide attentions in basic science as well as in practical applications. Sensing is often likened to human sense organs. Optical fiber can not only transport information acquired by sensors at high speed and large volume, but also can play the roles of sensing element itself. Compared with electric and other types of sensors, fiber sensor technology has unique merits. It has advantages over conventional bulky optic sensors, such as combination of sensing and signal transportation, smaller size, and possibility of building distributed systems. Fiber sensor technology has been used in various areas of industry, transportation, communication, security and defense, as well as daily life. Its importance has been growing with the advancement of the technology and the expansion of the scope of its application, a growth this book fully describes.

Book excerpt: The continued demand for high performance military platforms with reduced life cycle costs and extended operational lives is driving the development of autonomous systems and subsystems, advanced signal processing, smart sensors, and new generation materials. Autonomous systems, including autonomous structural health monitoring, are expected to form an integral part of future military platforms. These systems heavily rely on an intelligent network of sensors for potentially reducing the high cost associated with platform ownership. Advanced sensor networks, including fibre optic sensors, are expected to significantly contribute to such effort. This document establishes progress made toward the development and application of fibre optic based sensor systems for military platforms. It identifies and documents activities and associated experiences within the Composites Technology and Performance Group of the Technical Cooperation Program (TTCP-MAT-TP7). The report that focuses on fibre optic smart structures, structural health monitoring, bonded patch repair monitoring, and composites process monitoring and manufacturing, provides recommendation on the way forward for fibre optic smart structures development and implementation.
