Fiber optic sensor functions at temperatures that would destroy others.

Breck Hitz

Unlike electrical sensors, fiber optic sensors are impervious to electromagnetic interference, and they can be daisy-chained — connected in series — so that many sensors can be monitored simultaneously with a single detection instrument. But fiber optic sensors and electrical sensors share an inability to function at high temperatures. Recently, Y. Jun-Jiang Rao and his colleagues at the Research Center for Optical Fiber Technology at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in Chengdu have demonstrated a fiber optic strain sensor that can operate at a temperature of...Read full article
